commencement [n]: the ceremony of conferring degrees or granting diplomas at the end of the academic year
The day I have been waiting for finally came after 2 years of waiting and working hard to earn my Masters in Curriculum & Instruction with Educational Technology.
I have gained so much knowledge during my additional two years at Winthrop, but it was not just the knowledge but also my growth as a professional educator.
Graduation day was Thursday, May 6, 2010, and flew by just like these past two years have. John came to support me as well as my family.

In addition, this has been a busy week with graduation, visiting with family, and traveling home for John's graduation from Augusta State University. John attended Augusta State University the past year and a half to obtain his Masters of Arts in Teaching with a concentration in History. His commencement exercises were on Saturday at the James Brown Arena.
Now, we are both done with our Masters Degrees and eagerly searching, awaiting, and praying hard for God to help us finally get to put to practice what we have learned via having teaching jobs.
With 3 weeks left at Winthrop, it is kind of bittersweet. I will definitely miss my memories I have made as well as the memories Winthrop have left for me.
