On May 27 , 2010, I graduated from the P . A . C .T. Program at the University of Louisville. It was a wonderful ceremony and an important time in my life. I am very thankful to my parents and family for helping me. I also would like to thank Renee, my teacher, all the aids, and administrators for their support. Here is how the evening went down.
We had a buffet style dinner that started at 5:30pm at the University Club. They served us salad, rolls, green beans, grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and lasagna. We washed all of that down with a glass of water and tea. For dessert, they served gourmet bite sized cakes and pies.
At 6:30pm, the graduation began. Principle Dan Pike welcomed everyone to the ceremony. Then my friend Gwenna gave us a wonderful speech about our school year. Next, Dr. Robert Pennington spoke kind words about each of the graduates. Then, we saw a slide show of all of the students throughout the school year. After that, the four graduates lined up in alphabetical order and Mrs. Renee called our names. I received two awards; a Certificate of Attainment and a Cardinal Award of Excellence of Outstanding Determination Skills. Finally, Principal Pike gave us a few words of encouragement and we were dismissed.
Though I felt really good about graduating, I also felt a little sad. I felt sad because it was hard to stand in front of all of those people and it was sad to say goodbye to my friends. However, my family was there helping me and my friend Jason and his family came to watch me graduate from college. They were all very proud of me and that made me feel good.
Now that I am done with school, I will continue working at The Bus Compound and Dr. Hurm's Dental Office. I will also be working at a bookstore called Life Way at Southern Seminary. Jason, my friend, will volunteer with me at a horse farm called Second Strides. I will be a busy man.
