The Class of 2014

 

 

"Don’t live down to expectations. Go out there and do something remarkable." ~Wendy Wasserstein

To people June is the begining of Summer, to me as well for that matter. However, what's greater than Summer is graduation. Therefore I shall refer to the beginning of Summer as the  "Graduation Season".  It's a bitter-sweet season to be honest, tears of joy were sheded. 

For this year's Graduation Season, I was blessed to witness 3 remarkable moments, and my mother was honored with 3 outstanding achievements of her doing. Two of my siblings graduated from College this season, and the last but not least graduated High School, now that is something worth mentioning and worth being proud of. My mother at least has the all right to show the world what she made, all these graduations are the results of her hard work and her continuous patience. It was because of her that my siblings were able to reach and go beyond their potentials and capabilities, and it was because of her that they actually made it this far. Each and everyone one of us acknowledges what my mother has done because she did what no other was willing to do. My father didn't do as much as my mother did, but he did have that little role in keeping our tension and stress down. I always remember him joking and trying to make us laugh to forget all the pressure we were going through. For that as well I ask Allah to keep him and my mother by our side in their best health for as long as forever because these 2 beings complete each other and they have something I have never in my life someone share what they share. It's really a blessing and a gift, we always thank Allah for that.

Keeping it as short as possible was in the end possible after all.

Happy Graduation Season :)
