My Cousin Graduated College!
"You are one step away from finally reaching your dreams."
On June 23, my cousin Von graduated college with a degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. All of us in the family are very proud of him, especially me since I have been with him almost half of his college life.
My cousin was the one who pushed me in ways that can motivate me. Threatened me that he would pinch me in the side of my body if I fail my subject in Animal Production and giving me advice and learning materials that I can use.
He was the one who guided me in my first months of my life in Lourdes Village and made sure that I would be okay. Tagged me along when he had a night out with friends and introduced me to Alpha Phi Phi which is their chat group. Von and his friends absorbed me into their group which is a blessing since I do not have friends in my department before.
My cousin and I shared so many college memories together. We would go to Naga and he would tour me around so that I would not be lost if I went there alone. I can still remember our alarms during the morning when we had classes. It was so uncanny since both our alarms rang for almost 5 minutes.
And so I am quite sad that they are leaving but also immensely happy since they have finally graduated college. Sad because I will not see them anymore in the corridors of our department and not going to be able to hang out with them. But also happy because they are one step closer to becoming what they dreamed of --- as veterinarians.
I am the proudest because together with him are our two friends Kuya Deks and Ate Myka. They finished Doctor of Veterinary Medicine within 6 years which is rare in our department. They were actually considered as the DVM of our department --- Dexter, Von, and Myka. Really smart and nice people.
We attended their graduation which was held in the open field of our university. Together with my former boardmates and some of our friends, we cheered for them upon walking up to the stage to receive their diplomas. We took some photos and left to attend Ate Myka's graduation party.
Here is Chini. Ate Myka's furbaby who is a shih tzu. She's also wearing a customized toga. Such a cutie!
Passing the board exam will be their last step to finally becoming Veterinarians. Their one great dream in their lives and to help animals.
The one on the left was our roomie, who is a licensed veterinarian now. Nakapa-graduate na ako ng dalawang roomie! May dalawang doctor na ako. π₯Ίπ
A message to the graduates:
Hooray! You are one step closer to becoming what you really want in life. A new journey to take and a new life to live. May you all succeed in your fields and achieve all of the great things that you dreamed of. Do not also forget all of the great people that have been part of your college journey. Rest for a bit and good luck on taking your board exams! God bless you all, Batch 2022! ππ₯³
