I’m here looking at you with that diploma in your hand, and a movie of all the times you thought you wouldn’t make it flashed through my mind. I remembered the exhaustion on your face, the dark circles under your eyes, and those talks we had when you wanted to quit. Seeing you there now, whole and victorious, makes my chest feel too small for all this pride. You didn’t just get there; you became someone giant along the way. 💪
