Graduated College
What a fine college Graduate I made.
So this was a pretty interesting experience for me.  It felt pretty weird graduating two years after my class did, but nevertheless I did graduate in the exact time and place I planned to the day I was rejected from the priesthood.  I did not realize how many of the people, the people  who were closest to me, had serious doubts about whether or not I would graduate until after I did.  Kind of weird.  I never doubted I would, but many people did.  Looking back I remember being told story after story about people who dropped out thier senior year and never went back.  I am sure there were many who just expected me to be another one of those stories.... I realize that is not what they wanted, but was what they expected.  All I know is that I never doubted myself.  I guess when all is said and done the above picture stands as a symbol of what a stuborn basterd I truely am.
