But i’m content with the fact that, i’m walking in Commencement 2012. I know, I know, I’m class of 2012. But like any overly emotional college students I had a few fuck ups. End of sophomore year wasn’t a fail but it was a drop and First semester Junior year affected me as well. I’m not going to look at those things and wish I did better. One of my history professors, Women’s history in particular told me today that I was “special” and that I have so much to offer that my grades will be just one small setback and I make up for all of it.

I took everything she said with great humility. I didn’t know she felt the way she stated today. It made me remember that my purposes will be achieved because it’s embedded in me. I’m going to use her advice about creating my cover letter for Grad school and use my resources with The Harlem Children’s Zone, YWCA, YMCA and whoever else wants to help.

Now that I know I’m getting my Bachelors of Arts degree Certificate next February, I’m planning to start Grad School that following September. I’m going to save up and research places that will allow me to stay home or places that will allow me to work and help pay for Grad school. Hmmmmm…

I’m going to keep using my resources. Professor Cash said she’d write me recommendations and will forward any internships she knows of. I can’t wait to tell Professor Young my great news. Hearing my mom happy about my good news and my sister was a blessing today. Everyone I told showed me so much love and that proves, that I deserve it.
