My commencement was in 2010; so I'm officially done with my college career (until January when I return to pursuit my Masters, then later my Doctorate) But until then, this is a HUGE accomplishment and I wanted to create something to sort of capture it. The background is indeed an interpretation of my campus; but its a beautiful 1600 acre property focused on the environment and its sustainability- one thing I particularly loved about this institution.
This is also a congratulations to all of those who have also graduated this season; this is a ridiculously huge milestone for us all!
“To laugh often and much;
To win the respect
of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of
honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better;
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or a
redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived.
This is the meaning of success.” -Emerson
