Destination Graduation June 2014

07:30 Unknown 0 Comments






That momentous occasion we’ve waited, worked and wished for is finally here. We’ll see the smiling faces of friends, family and staff and throw our hats in the air to celebrate all we’ve achieved.

But I’ve come to realise Graduation is way more significant than I first thought.

I believe it’s an opportunity to reminisce about the good, bad and ugly student experiences and say a proper goodbye to those who shared them with us. This day, for me, feels like a chance to truly recognise that this chapter in our lives has finished so we can transition into the next one.


However, I’m not finished reading this chapter. And to be honest, I don’t think I ever will.


This is because University has given me so much more than just education. It’s re-shaped who I am and given me confidence to embrace what I know. I felt truly involved, included and challenged at Brookes; the recipe for an awesome education in my opinion. 




The skills I’ve picked up along the way will stay with me throughout my future experiences. This is why although my degree is over, I believe my learning never will be. And I’ll be forever grateful for that.





It seems I could pour a million words onto the page right now, but I don’t think any of them would be able to describe this jumbled-up mixture of emotions. I'm not sure where I'm headed which is scary, but this is the start.





But one thing I know is that this day is special to each and every one of us in some way. It’s probably the first and last time we’ll ever graduate so let's make it incredible!
