Introduction
I look myself in the mirror and I canāt help smiling, I did it, Iām graduating today, I canāt believe that I did it. After four years of hard work, I finally did it, I deprived myself of the college life for this, education is a really important thing one must have, I can literally lack anything but not education. At just 21, I achieved my biggest goal ever.
āBaby, come before you get lateā thatās my mother, Patricia, āYeah, Iām coming momā I take one last look at myself on the mirror, āyou did it fifi, you did it girlā I take my gown and hat and walk out, I find my parents waiting for me at the door, my dad embraces me in a hug and we walk out, all three of us.
We get in the car and drive off to school, my apartment is just fifteen minutes away from school so we made it just in time. We went to the auditorium, while they took their seats, I walked up to the other graduates, I find a seat and everyone gets quiet, I see some of our lectures and deans approaching the podium, everyone seats down, one chair left. āladies and gentleman, apologies but it seems like our guest is running lateā the lady on the mic says, āwithout further ado, please welcome the dean of the students, Mr. Michael Adzeā everybody applauds as he takes the stage, Mr. Adze is a very yummy man. Heās Caucasian, has a very nicely shaven beard with a bold head, heās a buff guy very appealing to the eyes.
āthank you, thank you, as the dean of students, Iā I zone out from everything that he says because suddenly I became hungry, I was too nervous to eat breakfast, I donāt normally eat it, but now Iām super hungry.
āAnzo mawela, cum laudeā everybody applauds, ākatlego mphelaā ā¦ now Iām getting scared because im up next, āRemofilwe Azania Nkoanaā I walk up, ācum laudeā I see my mother standing up and clapping hands, now im all smiles, I get handed my degree. ācongratulationsā Mr Adze says when I shake his hand. āthank you, sirā the next person gets called and we continue. Once the ceremony is finished, I walk up to my parents and hug them, my mother has tears in her eyes, my father, he has on the biggest smile ever. āim so proud of you my babyā Iāve always been dadsā little princess, it doesnāt matter how old I get, I guess itās because im their only child.
We go and take pictures, after that, my father decides to take us out for lunch, he already made reservations at a restaurant, talk about a man who knows what he wants. Once ushered to our table, I feel the hunger coming in full force.
