When I hear the words, "the big day" I automatically think of someones wedding day. Well, today is my (other) big day--My college graduation! By the time you read this I will (probably) have walked across the stage in front of thousands of people. Boy, that thought makes my stomach turn knots!
I remember my high school graduation. Everything was going great until I was about to walk across the stage and realized something was wrong. I had looked down at my gown and noticed the zipper on my gown was making its way up the OPPOSITE direction that it should be. It was unzipping itself, and I couldn't fix it. It sure would have been nice to have
Elisa there to fix my zipper! (sorry, Elisa, I had to say it) I was mortified. Here it was, a milestone in my life, and I was having to worry about my zipper undoing itself in front of hundreds of people. Talk about embarrassing. I just hope that my zipper holds up!
I know that today will be bitter sweet. Even though I'll continue living my life here in Springfield, some of my dearest friends are leaving town, and I will not see them again unless God, someday, crosses our paths. I pray that God keeps them, and guides them, and grants them their hearts desires.
To the 2011 graduating class of Evangel University, God bless,
Alicia Marie
