Pomp & Circumstance

Graduation was yesterday. There was a bunch of marching up and down the steps of University Arena. I was assigned to guard one of the ADA seating areas.

This really makes the last couple of months worthwhile. The kids are so excited. One girl, a former student and aide, was standing alone with a strange look on her face. When I asked her, she said, "I'm scared." Then she grabbed hold of me for dear life. I told her not to worry. Even though this big, familiar thing that had been with her for 12 years is now gone, the new stuff coming will be exciting and fun.

Girls were hugging me with tears and laughter. Boys looked about to explode while they shook my hand. I love graduation!
