Congratulations, graduates and closure

And so another semester passes.


It is clear that another semester has come to a close; everywhere you look there are parents and moving trailers scattered all over the SFA campus, which is the international college signal of either move-in or move-out.


While I sat in traffic on the way to work this afternoon, I watched the masses of people sweating, carrying boxes, laughing faces, somber expressions and tearful farewells. The seasons in our lives are bittersweet. It puts me in mind of the musical RENT and its song “seasons of love.” “How do you measure a year in the life?”


Looking back at this semester it is hard to imagine that another four months of life has passed by. I feel at times that a year is simply the blink of an eye, how is that possible? Another one of life’s mysterious I suppose.


So as this season comes to a close I would like to congratulate all SFA students. For those of you simply relieved to have passed your classes and most of all to those who are graduating, congratulations on a job well done! I hope your walk across that stage, the weight of a diploma in your hands and the flash of a camera is everything you’ve imagined it being, for the past four years.


Every successful step in life should be celebrated. So ring in summer with the people you love and celebrations that will be forever remembered.
