Tonight we had a graduation ceremony for the first ever graduating class of Ombudsman DeKalb!!! I had to give a speech (which I will post on Monday). I was soooo nervous beforehand, but I managed to compose myself and get the thing started calmly and confidently. About 3/4 of the way through, I started bawling! At that point, so did everyone else! It was an amazing night. I got to say goodbye to my seniors, who are very near and dear to me. I got to say what was on my mind and in my heart, and I am so happy they are embarking on their futures knowing full well how much they mean to me and how much I believe in them.
Here are some pics of the center decor (I bought the supplies and my non-grads put everything together!) and the graduating class:
I am saddened to let them go but feel so blessed to have had them in my life at all. They are my life's work. I have given it my all, in the hope that they will go out into the world and do the same.
