My Graduation Day

    Oh my God!!!It is to good to be true,I can't believe in less than 24 hrs I will be graduating. The feeling is strange to me, just because it seems like yesterday I stepped into my first class room of college, even though it took me a few years to finish. All I can say is thank you lord it is all over and done with.
     Drink up guys, tomorrow will be along day,just don't drink to much to where you can't get out of bed and miss my graduation,I got along day ahead of me and I need my family there for me. As I look at my sister and son pouring shots there were a few thoughts running through my head at a fast pace. I couldn't believe I had done all of this on my own raising a son all alone knowing many women would of gave up but not me I was strong enough to move on and go forward, I was so thankful to have such a loving and supportive family to help me through the years. "I love them so much".
    Wow!!! What a night. I can't believe it's already the morning,I'm going to need some coffee while I get ready,while the coffee is brewing I will have my sister do my hair to help me get ready faster. "Come on Doe Doe I scream" which is my aunts nickname since she was a young girl..My son looks at me and smiles as I'm saying this, I wonder what he is thinking sometimes. As he begins to start pouring his cup I look at him saying  "Honey can you pour me a cup for me". Thinking in my head I am cutting it close I don't have much time left to get ready. My son has always been a good boy  anything I have asked of him he has done for the most part. Anyways it's almost time to leave and head over to the D.C.U Center I scream out to let my family know. I don't got much more time so I will finish my makeup on the way. As I take my last sip of coffee I take a deep breathe in then exhale to settle my nerves. Kk I am ready lets go!!!
     As we are driving down to the ceremony I realize my son is looking out the window as I can see him through the mirror I am putting my makeup on I wonder what he is think was what ran through my mind. Maybe he will let me know later on.
      Next thing I remember we are now out of the car and in the parking lot across the street of the D.C.U. As soon as my feet touched the ground my legs felt like jello,WoW! I have never felt so much anxiety in my life, I hope this feeling goes away before our class gets called to come up on stage for our diploma. Before I can get to the exit to enter the building my son says "Mom come here give me a hug"!! I walked over to him and he squeezed me  so tight, and said " some day mom I promise this will be me". I held it in at the time but I wanted to cry. All I could say was I know son you can do anything you put your mind to I believe in you. We said we loved each other and started to walk our separate ways into the building.
    It's almost time as I'm sitting there a few feet from the entrance of the room that holds about 1400 even though there wouldn't be that many people there it sure did feel like it. The only thing I could think of is how nervous I was and when would my nerves calm down. The next thing I know Business Administration please come up and receive your diplomas, here we go finally the time is now!!! I'm actually walking up to the podium, I can't believe this it's really happening now. As I look to my left I realize my son with a huge smile on his face and clapping as hard as he can. Haha I screamed out to happy to do anything but laugh for joy, next thing I remember is everybody throwing their caps high in the air and there we were finally after all these years graduated with a bachelors degree.

Outside of school,how can reading benefit you?

Reading can benefit me outside of school in a couple ways. Such as making my vocabulary alot better, reading faster also, and most important keeps your mind running to learn  more.
The more I read books or even magazines I realize I take in all types of words to remember. Once I get these words in my mind I realize that I will most likely use them if I see that word often.By reading I will be using all types of crazy words I would never think to use.Thats one of the reasons that to me benefits my reading.
Second over the years of reading I find myself get faster and faster in reading as time goes by. When I first started reading I was slow I would sometimes have to go back to re read sentences. But as time went on I didnt have to do that any more. Now that I read often I can fly threw all the reading that I do to me this is a plus exspeciallt school work I get it done in no time.
Last but not least! I realize the more you read the more your brain works n opens up to learn and take in information.As I got older I realized this was very inportant. I didnt want to be old and not be able to be good with a vocabulary. This is probably to me the most important reason to me why I read so much.
To me there are a bunch of benefits to read outside of school.These are just a few important reasons why I read on a daily basis.

Outside of school, how can writing be important to you.Writing can be important to me in a few ways. Such as writing a resume for a job,It will also teech youhow to talk proper in the real world,and last if you like to write it would help you be a good writer in general. First if you start writing all the time you will be able to make a great resume wich will be important outside of school.Just knowing how to get the format down is a good start.Next to write the proper words on your resume are important.If your a good writer you will know what correct words to use. If you can get this down writing will be very useful outside of school. Second if you write a lot I think your speech gets better also. This will be important in the real world. Speaking to somebody in the work world is differentikely from talking to your friends. To me it would be important to talk proper especially trying to land a job.So remember the more you write the more proper you talk in the work world. Last but not least knowing how to write is just healthy for your brain.The more you write the better you will get.This is good for people that love to write short stories or even books.The more you write most likely you would become a successful writer. These are just a few reasons why writing is important outside of school.So just remember if you keep writing you will be most likely to land a job with a great written resume,you will also speek proper in the work world,and last but not least maybe one day become a great writer.
