May 14th was my college graduation day! Hurray!
Thats's not true. May 14th I sat through the 2 hour ceremony for th College of Letters and Science to get an empty diploma jacket. August 5th is my actual graduation day. They do not hold a ceremony for summer graduates so once I walked and once I complete my internship I will recive my actual degree.
But I still call it my Graduation Day!
The ceremony was bright and early, 9AM Saturday morning. We did the whole walking, announcing, moving the tassel, and singing the alma mater thing... then celebrated!
Graduation was strange because I do not have a large attachment to Oshkosh. I started at LaCrosse and have the majority of college friends there, but I did my studying at Oshkosh. I do however have attachment to the UWO Kinsesiology program and eveyone I have gone through it with! I had those classmates in every class, every day, every semester so we all get very familiar with each other. It will be strange not seeing them every day and hearing everyone's ineternship stories from all over the country.
The best thing about graduation, that I am most proud of are my honor cords. I was glad to have them around my neck and show I not only finished, but strongly. Many reputations come with Oshkosh: UW-Zero, anyone gets in, it's easy... I completed all of my coursework in biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, exercise physiology, bimechanics, motor learning, sports psychology, nutrition, clinicals, and many others that tested my limits so I am still proud of my grades no matter where they are from (my hardest struggle to overcome when transferring home).
(Half of this semesters Kines grads)
I am officially a University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh Kinesiology Graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology - Exercise & Fitness with minor in Wellness Promotion!
