in honor of graduation week

this picture tells a great story...5 years to get a 2 year degree...i am holding a leather diploma case with no diploma inside...broke my foot in 5 places after i finished taking my final nursing exam and had to miss the 2 week practium needed to graduate...had to pay one of the teachers to come in off summer break for 2 weeks so i could complete the necessary hours needed to graduate...was 1 on 1 with my instructor for 2 straight weeks, instead of being with a group of nursing students...no room for error during those weeks...cut into my summer tanning time...but i made it...and it has been a wonderful career for me...working as much/as little as i want...rewarding...
