Finally Done!!!

I know I havent wrote in a while, but the stress and heavy load of senior year was a bit much. The grind for me just took a break, not stopped completely, just a break, today! Lol!
It is May 10, 2010. I graduated from the prestigious Howard University on Friday May 7, 2010. Words cannot even begin to express the way my heart felt when my name was called and I walked across that stage. That was one of THE proudest moments of my life. I looked to my right and I saw all my previous teachers and mentors. I looked to my left and I saw some of my close friends who I know I will always remain in contact with, visit, and will invite to other important events in my life such as my wedding, my first baby shower, 30th birthday, etc etc. Most importantly, I looked in front of me and saw my biggest fans/supporters/believers, my family. I saw my aunts screaming my name and snapping pictures, my parents and grandparents with that proud look on my face that said, "my baby did it". I saw my siblings clapping and my cousins standing and yelling for me. And last but not least I saw the love and pride in Jonathan's eyes. I saw all of these things in a matter of ten seconds.
And although I didn't go to the big, end of the year annual graduation party at club Love later that night, and I woke up too late the next morning and missed the university's graduation, seeing that image from the stage on that Friday night meant more to me that weekend than anything that took place and that could ever take place at Howard University. That dwelling was surreal and bittersweet and I will forever have that etched in my memory. Now that I have graduated, it's time for the real world. And I carry some fear but not a lot because with my family, close friends, Jonathan and God by my side, I KNOW that I will be just fine!
Mama I made it!!!!!!
