NEW beginnings
“I did it.” That’s certainly something to be proud of!
Imagine this… It’s graduation day and the ceremony venue is filled to capacity, with the proud eyes of family, friends, and fellow graduates on you. You’ve completed your academic journey and should be so proud of what you’ve achieved. Four years ago, you set your goals, high expectations and stretched outside your comfort zone, and kept going until today’s momentous, once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
Although this is your crowning achievement, you will continue to set goals throughout your life, and you will remember some things were tougher than expected and you may have experienced moments of self-doubt.
But, when you graduate, you get to look back on those tough times and say to yourself, “I did it.” And, that’s certainly something to be proud of.
