Graduation Season

This is me opening up to you.

I hate graduation season. It is the hardest time of the year for me. Because I should be graduating. I should be the one walking down the aisle with a degree or whatever it is that you carry when you walk down the aisle. It should be me.

For the last three years I have been a guest at other people's graduation and then gone home to cry because I wasn't the one graduating. It hurt really bad. You have to understand that the society I originally grew up in (naija) is based on your academic achievement. People judge (and judge harshly) how far you have gone. They make comments and insinuate alot of things that are hurtful

But this year...

I am different. I have gotten past the stereotypical mentallity and I alright with where I am. i have goals and dreams, I have a wonderful supportive base, and the love of my life. I am happy. I still hate graduation season but just because I am broke and can't get my pple's anything. I am happy because I know now that no matter where I am I am working towards my goal. And who knows maybe I will be blogging about my own graduation soon...

Congratulations Ifiiiiii I am so proud of you and B congratulations to. See you all when I get there.

P.S.: Did I mention I want to be Human Rights Activist and attend Columbia Law? hmmmmm I could have sworn I did, well now you know!
Peace!
