Graduation 2023🎓

So, yesterday was rough day but I am feeling shaking nervous about this evening it is finally graduation day for me cause I invited my cousin Taylor and my friend Shannon to see it but unfortunately they didn’t want to go cause Shannon has a lot of nervous about people going through the crowds plus she has been having nervous about job interview in her hometown Pennsylvania and Taylor has to go home cause her parents told her to be back here before 5pm. 

So, during the graduation day backstage I feel so blessed that one of my Paralegal teacher knows me actually she said that I am graduating and I was so proud to see her but there’s so many people in line you can pick which line (blue, yellow, green or orange) so I choose the green line cause it is my favorite color of course. There’s also some cookies plus water and I went up to see my friend named Claire Adams who is actually one of Shan’s best friends since they know each other in high school and we were both really good friends at all. I said hi to her and we were just talking more but that’s what I learned from Ms. Sabina aka the speech therapist. 

Plus I saw there’s a lot of people I know actually since then it is really crowded. First, I know there’s a person who is in my Music 160 class with Dr. Ryder so I will meet him after. 

The graduation begins around 7pm, I have to sit down all the way left row so it is really cool we can see many audiences attending too as long as they are just going through. But when we heard the star spangled banner by a student her vocals are better it was really powerful. Next our welcome and introduction by Dr. Dolores I can’t pronounce her last name it was good one to remember. 

Plus Dr. Marcie Euler did a great one too I am sure I got some good moments to see her first time. 

Mr. Lee Lambert of course this is his final time to see him in Pima cause he is the chancellor for 10 years I will definitely miss this guy and he was going to Silicon Valley for chancellor good luck. 

The girl named Gabriela Fragozo did such a great speech of graduation and she was 1st generation of her family members I like her speech she did such a wonderful job about talking about gender roles and etc. 

Finally, presentation of the degrees whew this is really nervous for me because I have wonderful good friends so there is no particular order, first off there is a student named Luke Abyeta who is in my speech and language therapist back in my previous high school with Ms. Kelli Hurd but she moved unfortunately because it is really rough. So, next up there’s Garrett Kinter who is in my Business 148 he is really nice person who I met him he was really cool person and we have this teacher named Dr. Greg Watson I was rooting for him that’s nice, then there’s Zachary Benz (let me tell you this, I hate this guy I just don't want to speak with him and the reason is cause he is graduating too which I am not even surprised!! So I just ignore him from tonight but he was taking a photo during behind the scenes, anyways I don’t really like him actually and I have blocked him in Snapchat and Facebook it really hurts now since he asked me to send me some naked pictures and showing off this stupid images now it is 2023, I am done with him for good.) One of my friends named Claire Adams who is in my high school friend we met each other finally so good news I might tell Ms. Sabina about this situation Claire and I have been know each other since Shan her best friend introduced to me and Maggie during her sophomore year since I was a junior at high school she was a freshman during lunch bunch afternoons every Mondays. (But however, Shan moved to Texas cause her step father Stephen got a job in real estate that’s seems a little different for me plus she is doing a job at Rehabilitation Zoology with her mom which is good sometimes they have visit Tucson often in the few days.) 

Claire is majoring in Visual and Performing Arts (Music) which I am rooting for her too, I am glad we became friends that why i was happy for me. She is returning to the University of Arizona for starting her Rehabilitation Social and Services major in the fall semester best of luck Claire. 

At least I see Jake Shaw one of my friends in my piano teacher named Dr. Ryder’s class back in 2021 for Music 160 let me tell them that one of the best things about this that happened he is doing science but he is transferring to University of Arizona to getting his bachelors for cellular biology and biochemistry good luck Jake you will be great. I got my diploma for Associate of Arts Liberal Arts and got some AGEC-A which means I can choose which college I can go but I don’t know which one. (they said congratulations I said thanks with a smile)

Finally we didn’t toss our caps but that’s all right we will get it next time but they played “The Edge of Glory” by Lady Gaga I have rough time but I got my gift it was powerbank for my charger perfect I didn’t know so I keep it in my magenta purse. 

I saw Mr. Greg Watson and I said hi to him but he didn’t say congratulations to me which is fine. 

I got some photos for graduation they are on Facebook.

Oh, I have bad news too Tina Turner passed away yesterday it was heartbreaking but this time I think it was rough moment for me so now it is time to say goodbye for Pima Community College and “I’m ready for the next chapter.” by Taylor Swift. 

Pressure memories and I will never forget that moment of my lifetime. 

Also, I have not seen Dr. Ryder or my writing 102 teacher named Gabriel Palacios or neither Marcos Guerrero Trujillo cause I think I will say hi to them and they will say congratulations to me but I will say thanks to them. 

When I went outside I meet up with my mom and my aunt Regina plus i was like going take some photos together then I called out “Claire!” so we hugged it out and say congratulations together I have meet up with her family so Claire’s mom Carol said congratulations I said thanks Mrs. Adams. I have realized David her dad too he said nice to see you Emily I said likewise Mr. Adams. 

He took some photos of me and Claire together we became friends at last that’s why she knows me in high school years. 

Thank you for the memories Pima Community College I will see you again soon as an Alumni.
