May 16, 2015.
I graduated from college today. It doesn’t even feel real,
but I am so full of emotion. Joy, sadness, excitement, relief. Every
conflicting emotion there is, I am feeling it in full. I’m not sure the true effect of
leaving Gordon has set in yet, and I’m not sure when it will – I’m honestly a
little nervous for that. But for now I am so thankful to family and friends who
have loved me and supported me these past four years. And I am so thankful to
God for getting me to Gordon and for gracefully sustaining me throughout my
time there. Gordon has been home and it has provided me so many opportunities,
ones that challenged me in ways I never anticipated, and ones that grew me immeasurably.
I am so thankful for each and every one of those opportunities, for each and
every person who made Gordon home, and for each and every joy I’ve been so
blessed to experience. It is the end of an era now, and I can’t believe my college chapter has come to a close;
it feels like just yesterday I was headed for orientation. But somehow four
crazy years have passed, and now I look ahead to the next chapter while always
holding close the memories I’ve made, and the love I’ve received these past
four years.
