Importance Of My Graduation Day

Decent Essays
This was one day that I wish I could relive. It is not often that I get to see my family, so having them all together to see me walk across the stage was a great feeling.

On my graduation day I was elated because I had all of my family together. It is not often that all of my family gets together, especially coming from a broken home. I was overjoyed that my parents could put aside their differences and come together and be there to support and watch their only child walk across the stage.

    Why are you interested in becoming a SHPEP ambassador? Before being part of SHPEP Dental Program, I did not have much knowledge on the field of Dentistry.

I notice my peers who helped me to succeed, regardless of how overwhelmed I sometimes felt, who encouraged me and reminded me of my strengths.

    As a current senior in high school, the time of graduation can be stressful and I am finally figuring out what I want to do with my life. The only reason I was able to do this was because of the great education I have gotten at CAL. I have learned more than just what textbooks and charts can show. I learned about life lessons and without them I do not know if I would be able to say I am academically and emotionally ready for college. I am planning on attending Kirkwood College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.…
