Diploma Time

Describe one of your favorite moments.

Walking across the stage at my high school commencement was a great moment. Hearing my name being called and taking that diploma from the presenter was amazing.

Then I did it again when I was presented with yet another diploma after my years at university.

Smiling into the camera as my sister snapped a pic with my parents beside me, remembering at that moment that teacher so long before saying I would not make anything of myself.

I’ve come a long way for a shy child who was bullied because of her color and her name. I hated school because of the people who taught with the exception of a few I can count on one hand and still have two fingers left over.

I know now that a good education takes you places, and by the grace of God, the sky is my limit.

I am indeed blessed. That stage and my diploma in hand were one of my favorite moments.
