In two months and one week my time at Dixie College will come to a close. Amber, Adam, and I will all say good-by to academia - at least temporarily for some of us. I am excited. . . and not. I have done things that I wouldn't do because there were deadlines and tests. I don't know if I can keep that spirit of motivation or even if that would be a good thing. My floors will be cleaner and Kent's meals more predictable but there will be many things I will miss: the delightful energy of the students; my interaction with professors; the gong of the campus bell; the smell of the art building. I will look forward to: holidays not simply seen as an interruption; losing that guilty feeling in the pit of my stomach when I am not being productive; making cards again; sewing; spending time with family; finding things other than school to worry about when the lights go out (ha).
So, it is over and I did what I did. I could have done better in some places, outright failed in others, and was occasionally the top of the class - kind of like life. When the final gong sounds we bundle it all up and give it back to the Lord.

Congratulations!! I am very proud of you. You inspire me to go back to school myself...eventually.
It's always a bittersweet feeling to approach the end of an era (of sorts). Now it's on to the next great adventure!
Simply inspirational. We are very proud of your accomplishments. You not only have graduated from college, but you have done so with an impressive GPA. Many dream or simply wish to do what you have done. You had the drive and dedication to do it. Congratulations!
Go Mom! I meet with people every day hesitant of going back to school because they are no longer 18-25. When they voice these concerns I always tell them about you and how you didn't let anything keep you from your dream of graduating. I'm so proud of you.
