I graduated!

[12birds]

Y'all, I graduated from college. My PTSD develeoped a couple months into my freshmen year, so a lot of times it felt like I was barely treading water. But I attended my graduation ceremony last Saturday and I turned in my thesis paper two days ago. I got an A on my paper and my professor invited me to present at a student symposium in April.

To be honest, most of my grades were terrible this semester, but I still kept myself together and finished. I'm relieved and scared at the same time, but a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I'm ready to enter a new phase of life.

What a great accomplishment. College can be hard enough without PTSD, to have done it in spite of PTSD shows real strength and determination.
