After many ups and downs in life, I am finally graduating college! I know that your probably thinking, "It's about time" or "It took you long enough". My only reply can be "I know! I'm so excited!"
As I sit and look back at my college career, I see so many things that have made me the person I am today. As most of you know, my college career was anything but normal. Changing majors and transferring schools have prolonged my time at school by several years. But, I wouldn't trade anything for my time going to school in West Plains while taking care of my sick dad!
My dad was always concerned about my education. I think after being married to my mother, he kind of had to be. I remember the last conversation that I had with him before he passed away so vividly. He made me promise two things. First, I had to promise that I would continue to sing and be active in my church. Although I no longer sing in the worship band, I love to fulfill that promise by working the guest services tent and now serve the youth on Wednesday nights. The second thing I promised was to graduate college with a bachelors degree. I am so excited to finally say that I am fulfilling both promises! It's been a crazy and bumpy 6 years but it's been 6 years that has caused me to grow more and more. I can say right now that on December 13th I will not only be excited that I will be a certified teacher, I will be excited to look up and say, "Dad, I did it."
