Graduating from high school was not as exciting or scary as graduating from MWCC is turning out to be.
Some people will be looking for a new job in their chosen field, some will be transferring, and some might decide to get another degree. Whatever it is, we will all begin a new chapter in our lives. Change can be terrifying because it is new, unfamiliar, and unknown.
It would be great, if I could continue hiding in the newsroom, covering the chalkboard with story ideas and editing tips, filling the white board with inspirational quotes, and the computer with sticky notes of things to do. I am going to miss our weekly meetings and rushing to get articles done for the deadline.
I will also miss the support from professors, especially those who let me constantly bug them when their doors were open. Thank you, for the advice and inspiration you gave.
The rest of the faculty and staff have also been helpful in directing me to the correct place to go, or suggestions of how to go about doing something.
It would be incredibly simple to do another degree at MWCC, but it is time to move on. It is time to learn more and have experiences that staying at a small school cannot offer. It may be frightening, but thinking about the possibilities of the future is thrilling, and I cannot wait.
President Vander Hoover said, “While I have only been on board at MWCC for a couple of months, I am proud of the graduates of 2017. I know that each and every one of our graduates have overcome obstacles, sometimes great obstacles, to become successful both inside and outside of the classroom. I hope that each graduate knows that they can always return for advising should they ever need it. I wish the graduates the very best in their future and the future of their families.”
Graduation will take place on May 17th, on the Gardner campus in the Fitness and Wellness Center. The doors will open at 5:00 p.m. for guests and the ceremony will start at 6:00 p.m.
Congratulations class of 2017!
