I totally know how you feel. I graduated last may and I didn't even walk because my brother's wife had their first baby like 2 weeks before then and my graduation (after 6 years of working my way through school) was totally overlooked.
But I can tell you this. I was feeling really down when I graduated because I felt like it wasn't that big of a deal (mostly due to my family's lack of enthusiasm), and didn't really feel like something to be proud of. But now, I can say that I am a college graduate, I am college educated, I completed a goal that I set out to do. And no matter what anyone else says about it, I have that degree. And it feels good to know that I finished what I started, and it wasn't a waste of money or time.
Congratulations Stormy. You worked long and hard to get here, and you deserve to feel good about your accomplishment. |
