Graduation in December

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

I got notified today that my Thesis was accepted and passed. This means I will be graduating in December!!! I am so excited! I will not be walking however. No one from my family will be able to come and see me walk. Even Andrew can't come because he will be out in the field But I will still have that Diploma and hood!!

Hurray for me

Hurray for You is right!!!!!

But please reconsider not "walking" for the Graduation Ceremony...
That's a pretty important event!
You ought to "walk" and have a friend shoot a video and some still photos for posterity!!

Bet Andrew talks you into attending the Ceremony!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I'm with Phred on this..... Walk for yourself...the thrill of acknowledging you did it!!!

I did not go through my commencement ceremony because I finished in August and had moved by the time it rolled around the following May. To this day I have dreams that I didn't finish my degree and have to go back. I think it is because I never had that "closure" as they say....

Thank you for the congrats!

I don't think I will regret not walking. But will promise to reconsider.

Yay!!!!! Congratulations! Were you nearby, I'd go!

Yay!!! Congratulations!!!

My parents were in Hawaii when I walked and while it was sad that they could not make it, I enjoyed the thrill of just being able to walk up, get my pic taken, and show off that I did it.

Congratulations, Souraya! What an accomplishment.

We are SO proud of you. Well done.

I'd like to add my two cents worth in on the 'walk and videotape' brigade. Whatever you decide goes of course, but the tape is something you can share with your family when you do get together. Okay, I'll shut up now.

Congratulations Sourya!
What an accomplishment! We are so very proud! If I lived closer, I'd come too

Hit the road, Souraya......That means...WALK!! Really, I think you'll be glad you did, having that moment in picutures, on film, to share with your family, kids, GRANDKIDS...! Hope you'll reconsider! Congratulations on your great accomplishment!

Happy Day! Congraulations Souraya - we are very proud of you! Please just at least think about walking for yourself. I don't think you would ever regret it but maybe regret if you didn't? I won't say anymore.

CONGRATS! All of us here at Pet Talk are so proud for you. I know how you feel about not walking but one of my teachers in college (had her for several classes) tried to convince those who didn't want to walk to walk because she didn't walk when she graduated, thinking she would never regret it, and now wishes really badly that she did because she put all the work into getting the degree! I personally walked, but I respect your decision because it is your life and you have the right to do what you want to do! But again, CONGRATS on this awesome accomplishment!

congrats!! I think I would walk too. Do you have friends in your class you could go with? I think it would be worth it! Great Job!!!
