I graduated yesterday. What a surreal few hours. I'm so thankful I was able to receive the opportunity to walk across that stage yesterday afternoon -- many friends I know were unable to experience the same due to this pandemic. While so wildly different than what I'd imagined for years (I more stumbled than walked across that stage, my cap and mask fell off, and when I took the picture, my cap was upside down, and we were all in our cars instead of chairs), it was definitely a graduation to remember. I couldn't see everyone I wanted to see, but I did get to see my favorite teachers one last time and was so glad to see my friends decked out in their own green and gold. And then to cross that finish line at the Laguna Seca Raceway with my class -- I'm floored by how significant that moment was.
Congratulations, Class of 2020, we did it!!
