Graduation






Well, it's official! I am no longer in high school! Though I have been done with school for three weeks, it wasn't until the ceremony that it hit me. I have (WE have) worked for 12 years for this moment and it gave me the butterflies and chilly willies. The blue book in the picture is my diploma and the gold cord is to distinguish the students who graduated with high honors. When Dr. Swan had all of the 2010 graduates stand up and face the audience I looked over at my friend Meghan with a huge smile and said, "We DID IT!" and we both started crying. It was an experience unlike any other that I have felt before. I went with the thought of this being so weird and strange because I was going to meet a bunch of people I didn't know- but was pleasantly shocked when they made all of us feel like an actual graduating class, like one big unit of kids who have known each other forever. It was just amazing and I seriously recommend going to commencement for EVERY high school senior who can. It will encourage you for the work you have done to earn your diploma and will motivate you to want to do well in the future.

Thank you to everyone who has been an important factor in my graduation. It has been a LONG, bumpy, and winding ride, but the view from the place I'm in right now is awesome!

  1. Oh, Danielle! How we wish we could have been there!!! Congratulations! I know how hard you have worked over the years, and I have tears in my eyes now, just looking at the beautiful young woman in these photos. You look beautiful, and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for you! Love you, Danielle! ~Mrs. G~
