Graduations
 
Dear ,

Tis the season for graduations! My godson graduated from pre-k to kindergarten, my niece graduates from high school this week, and this past weekend our intern graduated with his BS in Civil Engineering. Obviously some different life milestones, but the theme remains the same.

I remember that excitement and sense of accomplishment at my graduations, and it is exciting to relive that when celebrating the achievements of others. I especially remember what it felt like when first starting in my profession, and the exuberance and motivation I brought to the job despite my lack of experience. To anyone graduating or who has kids or family celebrating a graduation, I congratulate you and wish you all the best!
