A Dream is Coming True!!!

I can’t believe that I have finally finished my last final of college today. I can’t believe this is what that feels like. All butterfly flutters, happy, giddy, nervous, and disbelief all at once. I can’t believe that next week, on December 15, 2009 (if all goes well *wink*wink*) I will hold my very own Augusta State University diploma.

My diploma.

MY COLLEGE DIPLOMA….

WITH MY NAME ON IT.

My diploma that I earned with my own hard work and determination.

I’M GONNA HAVE A DEGREE!!!

I’m gonna have a Bachelor of Arts in Communications Television and Cinema. That just blows my mind!!! This is so incredibly cool, because I’ve really accomplished this. This first generation college student has raised the level of education within her family! I’ve kept with it and persevered through the chaos and now I’m finally graduating!!!!! I didn’t quit! I did it!!!!! I made it!!!!

I’M GRADUATING!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’M GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a blessing you must be to your entire family. Your Mamma has to be extremely proud of you and must have said a zillion and one prayers for you while your heart hungered for more...for a deeper education to be that first one to ever have gone to college. What an amazing journey you have walked out with God and family and sheer heart determination. You are such a lovely woman and it is an honor to know you. Love you and rock on in your next season of life with Christ!!!
