Congrats Mac_Pixie!!! I'm trying to push it too so I can graduate this sem with BS Microbiology lol. Been trying for a couple of years now but personal & family issues have kept me from being full-time for a while. Now, I just need to do my 2nd Organic Chem and 2nd Calculus and I'm done, yiiipppeee!
It's such a wonderful feeling, whether you're graduating from HS or college. I was having doubts about going to the ceremony but my fiancee insisted that I should go not only because he's coming home from Qatar for the occasion; but more importantly, for my parents and everyone that supported me all through the years. He says that walking and accepting the diploma means more to my parents and those that have supported & lifted me up all those years in the Uni. To me, it's an accomplishment & a way to get a better job; to my parents, it's the fruition of a dream and so much more, esp. because they went to college but weren't able to get diploma because of marrying too early. So for anyone doubting whether they should attend the ceremony or not, go! Stand tall & proud; this is the moment of thanks to everyone who have given you their financial & emotional support all those years!! Go Class of 2009!!!
