Ceremony wasn’t all too exciting—in fact, I have a great disgust for graduations/award ceremonies (a great, great disgust), but it was good to take a day to acknowledge my accomplishment in some way.

It was especially wonderful to see the support I have surrounding me as I look to the next right thing to do. My sweet family: mom, dad, brother, sister all came to San Marcos to join Carlos and me for my graduation. I was very touched.

Thanks dear everyone in my life!
