achievement surprises

July 02, 2012


I had no idea this piece of paper was in the mail
and on it's way to me until hubby 
brought it to me early last week.
I've never made dean's list,
so it's kind of a big deal for me. 
I've been working so hard to just graduate
that I never really slow down to realize 
just how good I'm doing or what my results are.
I'm so preoccupied with the deadlines, projects, 
papers, homework, exams- the works.
It's good to feel appreciated for the work I do.
It feels good to know that my work
really does pay off and that it's not just
another saying to make me feel better or work harder.
2008 was so long ago-
I should have graduated by now
but if I had, my career path would have been different
and I wouldn't have been able to work towards the family
I'm so so so so lucky and proud to have!
I push myself for them.
and now I have this certificate to show it.
end of story.


so cheers to graduation next spring
may twenty thirteen
