Observe: I have graduated!

I finally got my wings

So yesterday I graduated college! I had been in school for 6 long, hard, never-ending years and I am unbelievably excited to be done. I never thought I’d see this day, there were times the way ahead was so dark, I thought I’d never see the light but “FREE at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, I’m free at last!”
Today’s post will be a bit inspirational. I want to encourage you all. Keep going. Whether that’s reading or work or college or just being — keep going. It may seem that you’ll never reach the end….keep going. I graduated two years late. So all my friends I came in to college with have all graduated and have grown-up jobs. I was upset. Bitter. Angry. But I kept going. And guess what. My friends, the true friends…still supported me! They congratulated me like I came out on time with them. They were understanding when I didn’t go see them graduate two years ago because I was so upset that it wasn’t me. Through it all, they encouraged me. They encouraged me to keep going. That’s the most sound advice I can offer. Keep going. Keep trying! Keep pushing on. Keep going. You will reach your goals. Maybe it’ll take longer than anticipated or planned. But keep going. Always.
