Baby Steps

Yesterday I had an interview for (pretty much) my dream job. Today I heard that they were very impressed but that they need to consult the higher ups to see if I can be fit in. All of this is super nerve-wracking and exciting; but I just want to take a moment and be thankful that I've even made it this far! I honestly never imagined that I would actually have this opportunity and even if it doesn't work out, I have to remember all that has happened and to have the courage to keep running after my dreams!

Celebrate!

Let me also just say that yesterday, when I came home from my convocation ceremony, there was a message on my machine telling me that I had a Skype interview schedule for the next morning. How awesome is that?! To have a job interview scheduled with a school straight after walking out of graduation! I am so excited and grateful!

Humbled

Today I am humbled beyond comprehension. Yesterday, I graduated from university with my second degree and while I stood proudly in pictures and drank up the well-wishes yesterday, today I reflect and appreciate all of the kind words and gestures of everyone who has supported me. It has been a long haul, with plenty of tears and some moments of joy, but we've made it! I am grateful to everyone who made this possible, and I know that this kind of sounds like an Oscar speech, but really, I couldn't have done this without my family giving me a ride to school, housing me, feeding me, being patient with my meltdowns, knocking sense into me, forcing me to take a break, and most of all, believing in me and showing it. I've got my "Congratulations, Graduate!" cards here and they mean so much to me because these people are proud of me, they are proud to know me and to support me, and that makes me really happy to know that I am worthwhile and worthy of being proud of. So thank you.
