Oh By The Way... I Graduated!
June 17, 2011
It's been a firm month since graduation lol, and longer than that since I've last blogged. Well first of all I'm gonna say
I will miss the college life, and overall just the safety net of youth. It was nice while it lasted... That life will always be apart of me, especially considering my childish tendencies. It's over now.
My Graduation was great! I'm sorry, but I don't know why some people say the ceremony was boring. I'll agree the formalities are a bit over the top, but I enjoyed it.
The bugs were such a pest though since it was outside...
Uh oh Story Time.
When I was a freshman, in my first ever seminar class, one of my favorite professors took my class on a field trip. It wasn't a real field trip. It was just a walk outside to where the graduation spot was going to be, when it was our time. I believe I knew the significance of that walk. I'll admit that I love of the "
cheesy" moments in life, but, to me, that's what life's about. That walk was never really in my mind throughout my college, but seeing how I made it,
it's nice to look back on that memory.
As I was saying, graduation was lovely. The best part was my commencement speaker Liz Walker! She's a journalist, one of the first black anchors, she got a bunch of credentials, and blah, blah, blah. One interesting thing about her is she's a pastor, so instead of it being a normal speech,
she preached up in that mutha! She spoke about how
Love changed the world.
It wasn't that normal type of Love were so accustomed to today. It was that type of Love Jesus gave.
That crazy, Love your enemy type Love. Why? It's the same kind of Love that was exhibited during the Civil Rights Movement. Dr. King had to
convince others to believe in. He got people with families and their own agendas to worry about to believe in his philosophy.
Wow. Those people are a lot more courageous than I realize. Imagine what's it's like to be in the shoes of a protestor of that time. I believe some of their motivation may have came from wanting to make the future better for upcoming generations, but that's not all.
I believe their pride came from standing up for what they believe in.
The Civil Rights Movement was bound to happen, and without the leadership of Dr. King it could have went about in a different way. Liz pointed out this is one time using Love as weapon worked. I'm so glad she preached at our graduation! I will always remember that speech. I will always remember who my commencement speaker was. Regis actually got the right person for the job! lol I'm surprised.
Now I have my Bachelors Degree. I'm not that amped about it. It's nice to have, no lie, but I need the job. That's when I'll start to get excited. I don't have much experience in my life so I feel that I have to relive my teenage years I guess you can say. I might be bagging up groceries for 2 years.
Oh God I hope not! I just wanna start my career. Getting that entry level job will help me determine where I want to put my focus.
