Tomorrow, June 16th 2012, is my graduation day from Université Laval (Québec city). I am so excited!
I graduate with my Master degree in French-Canadian Literature (M.A. - Master of Arts) and I could not be prouder of myself! It took me a lot of time to finish my Master degree but I finally DID it! I can say that this is my biggest achievement and the thesis I wrote might not be the best, but it's mine and I'm proud of it! I will have a 140 pages book with my name on it and this is the result of my hard work!
I look back on all those years (22 years) I was in school, pursuing an education and I can't help myself but think about my beginnings.
This is where it all started, in 1990, in kindergarden, when I was 5 years old. This is the year I started school and where I started to LOVE school... I have always been a good student. I loved homework! Teachers loved me and I loved them all. They were real role models for me, I thought they were so impressive! Grades were important for me and I wanted to only get A's. And I was getting A's and I was so happy and proud! I have always felt very encouraged by my parents, they were proud parents!
21 years later, I still love school and I think that education is SO important. A higher education is the biggest gift you can give to yourself!!!
I'm not sure what I will do with my Bachelor's and my Master's degrees, but I know that my education will bring me a lot.
Tomorrow is my graduation day and it may mark the end of an era. I think that my educational career is over but I'm not sure yet!
Cheers to all students that have graduated in 2012 and I wish, for all of us, a lot of success!
