This is the End...

I'M GRADUATING SATURDAY!!!

It's really and finally over. I went to campus for the last time to do anything academic related. I turned in all of my assignments and had my exit interviews. I am officially finished with my Bachelor's Degree. It feels insanely surreal. I spent 4 1/2 years of my life working until my brain was mush. I spent all of my summers in a classroom for this. It doesn't seem like it should be over, but it is.

I know people say that pride is a sin, well poo on that because I'm not a Christian anyway. I'm really proud of myself. I worked hard for this, really hard. I didn't have to get a 3.72 GPA, I could have just done enough to pass, but I wanted to prove to myself that I could achieve something great. I could have had an even better GPA if I had been more serious in the beginning, but 3.72 isn't bad. When I think about it, I'm proud of the grades I earned, but I'm even more proud of the fact that those grades really reflect how much I learned. I crammed so much information into my head because I knew I would be responsible for teaching it to others. If you think about it, that's a pretty awesome responsibility. I can't wait to be a teacher, and I feel prepared because of all of my hard work.

I'm really proud of everyone who helped me get here too. I'm so thankful for my husband, my parents, my sister, and my friends who never stopped encouraging me to do my best. I know I could have done this alone, but it feels awesome to know you have a whole group of people behind you pushing you on to success.
