My College Graduation
After years, the day is finally here
At 22, I had started my long voyage
Not knowing what to expect, I was in fear
The road seemed endless, with long days and nights ahead
But with support behind me, they cheered for meAfter years, the day is finally here
At 23, I was passing my way through classes
Being advanced, I would complete it sooner than later, dear
Between constant death, moving, heartbreak, and more
I didn’t know how to handle life’s hardships while full-timeAfter years, the day is finally here
At 24, things were tough, but I carried on
Letting God and Jesus guide my way, my path became clear
I worked so hard but was doing excellent
Through the tears, I toughed my way through without giving upAfter years, the day is finally here
At 25, my heart and brain were extremely exhausted
My dedication and sweetness to everyone was endear
Onward and upward, a lot of growing and healing was made
Step by step, I got closer and was filled with promise and hopeAfter years, the day is finally here
At 26, I felt new as a new path began to unfold
While I spread my wings as my new chapter was all clear
I had support behind my back from family, friends, and my lover
On December 14th, I was filled with joy, hearing cheers, laughter, and gloryVoting is closed

Alexcia, congratulations on your graduation! I remember feeling depleted, overwhelmed, wired, and highly caffeinated right before I finished college. Graduating college is no easy feat, so it is amazing that you’ve made it! I wish you all the success and happiness in your future. Thank you for sharing your story!

Hi there, thank you so much! Yeah, I definitely dealt with a lot and a ton of mixed feelings; ultimately, it was exhausting. However, I’m glad that I’m done and graduated. Thank you again for the kind words, it means a lot.
