Graduation.

It's that time of the year again people. Time to graduate. Of course I'm not graduating and I'm not really near graduating either. But some pretty cool peeps in my life are graduating. Working with students means I always get to celebrate this time of year and I LOVE it!

For my Junior Highers it's just one step before the start the big bad world of High School. They start the process of figuring out what they want to do with there lives and enjoy friends, family and looking forward to the next four years of there life. One of the most influential times of there life!

For the high school graduates, they are now on there own, sort of. Hopefully they get the opportunity to live on there own and further figure out what they want to do and start to see how to do that! They enjoy the new friends, late night food runs and all nighters. It's a time of really coming into there own.

Now the college graduate! Generally they have it together right? They have a degree, maybe a job by now and a place of there own. Through the many staged of life they have figured out who they are! They come into the world of adulthood with perspective, courage and youth. They are ready to take the world on!

All these different ages of graduates have things to look forward to, as well as things that scare the heck out of them. But they all get to start these adventures of there lives with unknowns and new discoveries about love, life and the world around them. These experiences help to shape who we become. Now is the time where we choose what types experiences that we want to have or if you are me then the experiences sort of choose you!

That being said, to all you graduates, or people in the midst of change keep pushing through. The greatness is at the end of each journey, when you can look back and see how much you have grown!
