Graduation Today

I can't believe that today, in a few hours, I'm going to be graduating from college. It seems like only yesterday I was at Longview--and my Associates Degree seemed so out of reach. Now, six years after I got my High School diploma, I'm finally getting my BA. There are so many people I wish could be here today, but time and distance has kept most of them away. My folks are here, and my Aunt and Uncle from Tennessee are coming. So that's good. Anyway, I gotta go.
