I also finished and submitted my portfolio for my Structured English Immersion class. I just received my certificate in the mail. Check. One more thing off of my list.
I have graduation this coming week. I get to celebrate becoming teachers with all of the other people from the education program through the College of Education commencement ceremony. I am most excited for this ceremony because this is a special opportunity for me to share this special accomplishment with those that have been through the program from the very beginning with me. I also have the large commencement ceremony next Saturday. This will be such a big event because there will be over a 1,000 graduates that day!
God has blessed me so much with the experiences I have had while in college and with the incredible people he has brought into my life.
While I have mixed emotions about graduating and going into the "real world", I am so pumped for the adventure I have coming up. It will be difficult to leave Grand Valley and all those that I met there. It is a closing of a chapter in which I was active in campus life and organizations, worked at the desk and was a resident assistant. But even though I will be leaving so much behind, I have so much to look forward to...a new place to live in a new state, being the teacher in the classroom, new friends, new experiences, and a new way of living. Yes, I really have so much to look forward to.
