Diploma

I got my diploma today.

This week, working in my University's Registrar Office, I've mailed out HUNDREDS of diplomas. Then, when mine was handed to me, suddenly, it looked different from all the rest.

The University of North Carolina

confers upon

Ansapo

who has honorably fulfilled the requirements prescribed

by the Faculty and the Board of Trustees, the degree of

Bachelor of Arts

Magna Cum Laude

together with all the rights, honors, and privlieges thereunto appertaining

I started to cry.

22 years after the rest of my peers got their degrees and I started hanging my head whenever someone asked me "Where did you go to college?" I got mine.

It means so much to me.
