Graduation

Hello all! Above is my "senior picture" as my roommates call it. They said that I needed a senior picture since I was not going to be at home for my walk across the stage. I thought it was nice with my WTAMU sweatshirt and the lovely rose in the background. Well, I have done it. Except for a few final bits of paperwork I have graduated from West Texas A&M University. It is a bitter sweet thing really. I am thrilled to be done and to have a degree from what I think to be a fine University, however part of me is sad to see this time of my life come to an end.

This might be a little mushy but bare with me. To all of my professors and friends and family that have guided me and helped me through this time of my life I cannot thank you enough. Thank you to my parents who gave me the opportunity to continue my education, thank you to my friends for journeying with me through these past years, thank you to my mentors that have guided and shaped my heart during this time, thank you to my professors who have molded my mind in incredible ways, thank you, thank you, thank you.

The girls that I have been privileged to go through my internship with at WT have touched me beyond words. This group of girls are going to change the world. I am lucky to have been able to study with them and call them friends. God bless and God speed to all of you in your future as social workers.

As for me. I feel like I am where I have always been meant to be. I feel like a succession of miracles and blessings has lead me to N. Ireland to be a YAV. I am sad to see my college years go, but so very excited to start my future. I hope to make everyone proud!

God's blessings to all-

Melissa
