STANFORD GRADUATION

Angie

June 2018

This is the day I've been waiting for. The day I've been waiting for since I decided what major I wanted to take up in College and deciding on the University to go in. The day where I can finally say I have a Bachelor's degree in Paediatrics. The day that I know I'm getting closer to my dream job. Today's my graduation day.

I've worked my ass off to get here. I've pulled numerous all-nighters. I cried my eyes out because of the stress. I practised and did everything I could to get here. And now, I'm finally here.

Today, I celebrate not only getting my degree but I'm so close into pursuing what I really want to be. In 6 years, I'll be able to practise paediatrics and I'd be contented with my life and will finally find the purpose of my life.

I love kids, I love helping kids. When I was a kid, I idolised my doctor because of how amazing she works. How she helps ill kids get better. That's what I want to be, and to think that I'm this close into being it is quite overwhelming.

I'm definitely proud of myself. I'm proud of all the things I've been through. I'm proud that I worked so hard that now all the sweat, blood and tears are worth it. I'm so proud that I got this far. Despite all the hurdles I've been through, I'm finally here. Despite being broken-hearted, feeling alone, being homesick and feeling like giving up multiple times, I'm finally here. And I know I deserve this.

I look at myself at the mirror one last time in my apartment bedroom. Wearing a black lace dress with it open on the back. My black stilettoes adding onto it and looking at the corner, I see my bed where my toga and hat rests. I look at myself again, my make-up done and my hair done in braids. I smile. I take my clutch and my toga along with the hat and head out of my bedroom door. I see my best friend and roommate, Louise, standing with a navy blue bodycon dress partnered with black stilettos.

"I am so proud of us." Louise says and I approach her and we both hug,

"We so deserve this." I reply and Louise nods.

"We better get going, we don't want to be late." She checks her watch, it's almost 9 in the morning, and we need to get going.

We both head into my car and I drive off to Stanford University. I can't wait to see my parents, my baby brother Nathan, and my grandparents. They all flew in last night and are staying in a hotel near Stanford University. I park my car next to the football stadium where our graduation will be held. Louise and I head to the rendezvous before we head out to the field for the graduation ceremony.

Before we all get ready, my clique and I take numerous pictures and savour this day, together. However, we would be seeing each other next semester anyways because some of us are attending med school in Stanford.

Once the lady announces us to line up, we all take each other in a group hug and get in place. This day brings back a lot of memories during my high school graduation. The difference is, Harry isn't here.

In my high school graduation, he was there. He even cheered me on during my speech and when I was getting my diploma. Last night, my group of friends and I drove all the way to San Francisco to have dinner and pre-celebratory drinks. Because it's expected that today we would celebrate with our own families. That's why last night, we celebrated ahead.
