I graduate today… I’m going to be hooded. I’ve come along way since that first plane ride to L.A. I never thought I’d have my Master’s. Hell, I didn’t think I’d go back to college for my bachelors. I’m thankful for the liberal, accepting environment I’ve gone to school in. Without the support of my professors and classmates, I don’t think I would have had the courage to attend class or walk on campus amongst the stares and whispers.

Thank you to all who believed I could accomplish this feat and for thinking of me as a person, not another slut or bimbo or lost cause.

I hope don’t trip or fall on stage!!! And OMG I hope no one yells anything vulgar when they call my name.

Wish me luck! And I hope you all have a blessed weekend!!! Oh and happy Cinco de Mayo!
