Please allow me to brag for a moment...not only did I graduate, I got a 97 on the written final...holy 100 question scantron Batman, a 94 in clinical (60 hours at the geriatric home), 88 on lab skills test, which I am very happy with too...it all sums up to a 91 in the class, not to mention a perfect attendance award! Pretty damn good for a 37 year old mom of two boys, graduate on a liberal arts college in 1998, not taken a science class since1993!! I am not bragging, but this goes a big step to proving myself to all those who thought me doing this was some sort of a joke, or a mid life crisis...suck it!! Just top off the madness, after I received my 91, I got an email about my 15 year college reunion...
So, there was a graduation ceremony, complete with flowers, cakes and awards...it was so fun to see all my classmates, who I now have become good friends with, dressed up and with their families. My mom, dad, husband and the boys were there to support me...it meant a lot to me!
My mom and I decorated the cake with my boys old Fisher Price doctor toys!!
Besides a certificate for perfect attendance, I was bestowed with an award for the "blingy-est", everyone always commented on all my jewelry...especially one of my professors. I am honored that everyone appreciated the effort I put into my look each day!
Alex was especially excited for me!! He keeps telling anyone that will listen that his mom is graduating to be a nurse!
I am taking the next few weeks easy...looking for a job, hopefully going on interview, getting the boys ready for school and fall sports...I am definitely looking forward to not having to rush to school every morning, but I will miss having a structure to the day and learning new and exciting things...
And today this happened and I am pretty damn excited about it...
