Post Graduation

I've been meaning to write something about my recent promotion in life. Graduation was an awesome day, I have to say. I was super nervous the night before and the morning of, but when the procession started, I felt like dancing. Our school song, Ithaca Forever, was playing and I had one my good friends, DJ, walking beside me. The sky was dismal at first and I did feel a raindrop but by the time everyone was seated and the 118th Ithaca College Commencement began, the sun was beginning to show it actually exists. My family was there of course including my two cousins from NYC, my two aunts and my parents and younger sister. Sadly, I didn't get the chance to get pictures with every single one of my friends, if I did that would certainly be a huge accomplishment.
Now that I am home, I am still searching for jobs. Yay! I'm excited to start my first real job. Granted, I will miss only working part-time, but I know that this next step in my life will be rewarding. I know that I have been trained and well educated by both the institution that I chose and my family. I know that God is looking down on me and smiling despite the crazy paths I took along the way. I made it and I can't wait to see what is next.
I hope to continue to write in my spare time though from what I've heard, I may not have a whole lot of free time while working at a publishing house or magazine, but nonetheless I do not want to give up on my passion of becoming a bestselling writer. It would be amazing if I could live off of writing novels, but alas that will certainly not be the case at least not until I am famous like Anthony Horowitz, my favorite author.
Until then, I will continue to write poetry and stories from my well of imagination and huge heart.
