“Wait For Me, Daddy”
October 1st, 1940 by Claud Detloff
I have this strange emotion right now. I feel like its the end of any other semester, and I fell like I’m coming back for the fall semester. I guess this is the end of “expected” schooling for me. Although I was here for only 2 years, something inside me wishes I had another year or so. But that’s that. I guess the Student excuse has worn out it’s play and life begins now, literally. But if I really look at it, college is over for me. I had the sacrifices and the best times of my life, but here I sit 12 hours away from walking on stage graduating. i remember being an inch close to being a high school dropout, and graduating high school with all D-’s. Its a long way, and I can finally say that yes, I have my B.A. and I never quit. Now I can tell my son I did it and there’s no excuse for quitting. I can tell him of all the stories from community college parties to meeting a cute blonde chick in class, falling in love with her and being his loving mother. Yes college is done but life just gets better and better. Only 4 more months until he’s here. See you soon kid!
