Many of us remember the day we walked across the podium and received our college degree.
Some of us went on to even more memorable graduate or professional degree moments. However, all those moments put together will not equal the pride and joy of watching my child receive that college diploma.
My daughter, Julianna, received her B.S. from the University of Mount Union in Early Childhood Education. Not less than a month later, she was offered a job at her Elementary School (Incarnate Word Academy) as a fourth grade teacher. It has been a lightening quick 4 years that was filled with hard work and lots of fun for her. It made me think how exciting a time for her to be young and starting on her path in life. I am glad she will be able to look back and say, “Those were some of the best years of my life” – something not everyone can say. It made me think back on all the great friends I made at CWRU as an undergrad and then especially in dental school.
Memories that will last a lifetime. The struggle was real but it was worth every minute of it. I am glad my daughter can say the same.
Proud of you Julianna!!!
Action Step: Think about what your top 3 college memories are.
The Gratitude List is a simple, yet profound book that guides you to creating a list of people who have meant the most to your life and then using the list to remember and thank them regularly.
It is also a tribute to all the people who I am grateful for in my life. I hope the stories make you laugh, cry and think.
My hope is that this book brings back memories of all the people that have made you who you are today and helps you make your very own GratitudeList.
All proceeds will go to my brother’s charity “The Boris Pavicic Leukemia Foundation.”
