It has been a week and a half since graduation. I am so blessed to have been able to celebrate with amazing friends and family. Walking was a surreal experience, one that I will never forget. Kevin, my mom, dad, and my girls were there to cheer me on. The sound of my name over the sound system filled me with so much joy. My eyes welled up with tears when I heard my girls cheering me on. They have made many sacrifices throughout this journey and I respect   

them tremendously for their patience and maturity. 

The love of my life, Kevin, no words can describe the gratitude I have for his support. 

. 

My mom and dad, for all the life lessons and encouraging words, I am so grateful.

 

What does this degree mean?

A legacy of future generations of college graduates. I am the first in my family to graduate from college, but not the last. 

An example of what each one of us can accomplish.

We can overcome any adversity or challenge.

What's next?

Well, travel of course. I'll definitely keep everyone updated on my next destination.

Beyond that, a career that will allow me to travel the world and continue to touch the lives of those in need.

Stay tuned...
