Graduation Walk

Graduation day has finally come! Even though I actually graduated in December, this definitely made it feel more real. I was happy that I chose to walk at graduation and that my husband and my parents were there to support me. They couldn't have been more proud and definitely made sure it was a day to remember. I am so grateful for all of the love and support from my loved ones. I had so many people cheering me on and so many people who are so proud of my accomplishment! They all have helped push me along on this journey and I am absolutely blessed with the best!

Brandon and I spent many many hours of our married lives at this place. We are so happy to say goodbye! 

This day had me reminiscing on my academic accomplishments. I am so very happy that I kept going through school even when I had those days that I really didn't want to. I love love love to learn, but I absolutely hate the stress of school. I have never been a very studious student and I guess I am pretty lucky that I did so well. School is so demanding. It is even that much harder when you have to work full time while doing it. I am so glad that I had the determination to press through being a full time student and a full time worker. Thinking back to my few semesters at UVU, I am so proud of what I accomplished. I had the huge stress of changing degree's even though I really didn't want to. Brandon and I got married and at that point in time Brandon could not leave UVU. He essentially would've had to start over if I made him change his degree, and switch schools. At this point in time it made more sense for me to change my degree and go to UVU. I was so excited to receive a degree in Radiology and I was so very excited to be a Rad Tech. I was heart broken when I knew that it was no longer a reality. I knew that the most important thing for me in life was to be a mom. I knew that I had the desire to be a stay at home mom and only use my degree if it was absolutely essential. I had so much faith that Brandon and I would be successful in our desires as a family. I chose to take on a Community Health Degree. Luckily most all of my classes I had already taken counted towards this degree and I only had a few semesters left. I am hoping that someday I will be able to go back to school and do something that I really love! But for now, I am completely satisfied with my accomplishment! And I definitely couldn't be happier to be finished with school! Thank you to everyone who played a part on this journey! I am FINISHED!
