Tonight one of my favorite students of all time graduated from high school.
I cried like you would not believe. I heard the graduation music play and I lost it. I am so proud of Pickle (don’t ask how she got the nickname). I had her as a student six years ago and then as a TA four years ago. I have watched her grow up into an amazing young lady. I was honored that she asked me to support her on this important day.
To toot my own horn, I was not going to go to graduation. But I made myself and I am so proud. I did it all for Pickle!
Of course I had to ruin the moment and feel sorry for myself. I sat in the stadium for five hours all by myself. I should have expected nothing more. I am always be myself.
