I got my cap and gown today!!! I also got my silver honor cords and honor button! Awesome!! I didn't expect that. I can't believe I am finally graduating. I am getting emotional. This will be my first graduation since, well, 6th grade. Yes, I dropped out of high school and later got my GED. I wish I would have went to college directly after I received my GED but I guess I shouldn't look back. I should write a blog about being a HS drop out one day. I really think they should raise the drop out age to 18 but that is a blog for another day. "It is never to late to be what you might have been." George Eliot... Now I feel like I am finally on the right track. I have to figure out my next steps. I need to keep plowing ahead towards my Bachelors degree. Then on to my Masters and eventually my Doctorate. I think my goal is to be like Dr. McCain (my favorite professor at MCC) or like Dr. Reeves or Dr. VanEttten - they are two great counselors and instructors at MCC.
Speaking of Dr. McCain and Psych, another good thing - ! don't have to take my last Psych test. That is a stress relief right there. I don't have to worry about studying. I did well on the other tests so between that and my extra credit I am getting a 4.0 - YES! So that is one thing off my list. I had a Algebra test today (mostly graphing - yuck) and I think I did all right. So that is another thing off my list. Now I just need to concentrate on my paper and presentation for the class I dislike (Reading Pop Culture), my scene for acting class, and the dreaded Algebra final. If I do well on all this I may be able to pull my GPA up from a 3.5 to a 3.7 or 3.8. I hope so.
