Goal #27 Graduate graduate school

Jumping pic with the niblings
Hooray! Graduate school was among the hardest things I've done in my life. A year ago I was home for the summer and did not want to come back. But no one gives you credit for half a masters degree, so I finished. Luckily the last year--despite the nasty thesis--was better than my first year, and overall I feel really good about my experience. Having most of my family there to support me at graduation meant so much to me. And I felt so loved by the friends who came to hear me speak at convocation!

Me and the whole fam!

Isn't she adorable? #niblings

I promise I didn't close my eyes the whole time!

My advisor, Dr. Graham!
Several of the IP&T faculty

Throwing your cap isn't part of any of the celebrations, so we did it on our own!

President Worthen!
My dollar for completing this very significant goal goes to Days for Girls, a charity that provides sanitary supplies to girls in developing countries so that they don't miss days of school and days of work while they are menstruating. I completed my goal of getting an education. I want other girls to have the opportunity.
