I had been looking forward to this day since my last graduation!

I received my second degree, in graphic arts and photography, on May 17. Going back to school was one of the best things I could have done for myself and my future. I learned so many new skills, and gained back some confidence I didn’t know I had lost. I studied long and hard, and soaked up all the knowledge I could during my time at school. I think being 10 years older really helped me focus more on my goals. I knew how things would play out, having done this all before, so I embraced all the challenges that came my way, knowing it would all work out. I am very proud of my accomplishments over the last three years! Now, it’s back to the real world, where I have to be in charge of all my deadlines and set my own goals. I do not know what the next chapter holds, but I feel ready for it!

I am a proud member of the Class of 2015!
