elizadushku: Today marks (via ZOOM!): My College Graduation Day..!!? ‍ You guys, I JUST GRADUATED ♥️✨ I am so excited This has been a dream (as many of you know!) for a long, LONG time coming. I moved back to Boston almost 5 years ago with a few credits under my belt & some fierce determination to complete my BA. Along the way I met the love of my life (Peter P!) who has rooted me on endlessly, with my beautiful family (hi mom, Aaron, Leni, Ben, Nate, Ami! + study nights with my niece & nephews Kyle, Sof, & Joji were true highlights!) & friends (too many to name but I SEE YOU!!) believing in me, our perfect little nugget, Bourne, joining me in my belly for the last few semesters (dance movement therapy class as an 8 months pregarroo-soon-to-be-mama had my classmates, Professors & me giggling ), & I can’t forget Max & Tanner (~ it takes a village!) who snuggled in my lap through late night papers & test-studying!The journey has been a little longer than the typical college experience perhaps, but I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity a.) to attend university, something I do not take for granted for 1 second, b.) to have the insane support & encouragement from my school/s surrounding being a 35-40 year old back-to-school ‘kid’, and c.) to have had the privilege. Everyone should have the ability to further their education. This was a major flame behind my Bernie support over the years— our American system of college expenses & debt is a broken one, a failing dynamic and cause that I will stand behind in pursuit of change & effective reform. This awesome commencement marks the end of my undergrad studies, which will now lead into a Master’s program in Holistic Counseling, Psychology, Theory & Practice— I want to give to others what I was so lucky to receive myself— a space & Holistic (aka WHOLE PERSON~ mind/body/spirit-soul) web of healing from addiction, trauma, & transpersonal deficiencies. You know, this pandemic/endemic has really rooted in me the conviction that we all need a little help along the path of life, particularly as the world/planet gets more complicated & sadly, divisive. Go after your goals! #YOLO✨xo Me -- source link
