Got Graduation Blues??

It's Graduation Day!! Your day to walk down the aisle, receive your scroll and move that tassel from right to left!  Plenty of well wishes are being exchanged and the air is filled with excitement!  It’s a GOOD day!

But what happens after the confetti settles and the black robes are put back in the closet? What happens next? Getting your degree has been like climbing that mountain, and now that you are at the peak, all you can see in front of your feet is the cliff edge that leads to the valley below.   

Raise your head and notice that from the top of the mountain you can see all the roads that are open to you.  The future runs up and around winding roads, through flowing rivers, up the side of yet even higher mountains and resting only at the edge of the sunrise.

This is not the end of the road, graduate...
it is the beginning of an incredible journey!

Congratulations! By Maddy

  5. This blog is very encouraging for students. I am due to graduate soon but I was getting very discouraged. This blog gives me a little piece of mind and a little energy charge to finish strong. Thank you
