Mis ganas (still missing)
While I was waiting for Chispa’s graduation to start on Saturday, a thought came to mind.
My parents weren’t at my graduation last year. They didn’t see me walk across the stage or hear the dean actually pronounce my last name correctly. There are no pictures of me in a cap and gown flashing a huge smile between my mom and dad. There’s not even a picture of me and my sister. Danny and Adrian, my brothers, were the only ones who could attend. (To be fair, I decided at the last minute that I’d be participating in the ceremony.)
I decided on Saturday afternoon that I want my parents to see me graduate again. Maybe that will help me get back on track with this thing called school.
Today, @ a very nice pizzeria in San Juan, the owner proudly explained that the smiling young woman photographed by herself in cap & gown had graduated from UCLA! I immediately thought of you! I hope your parents and all siblings are @ your next graduation, but do know smiling pictures of yourself alone are pretty good!
Step back and think about why you are doing what you are doing, picture yourself achieving your professional goals, take two or three good deep breaths, I hope your ganas come back, appearing @ your forehead, filling you w. renewed energy.
