We are very proud of her and her accomplishment. This is a giant step in her young life. </p><p> It's been 10 years since I graduated from college. A lot has happened in those 10 years. Not just in terms or career or technology, but mainly in terms of life in general. I went from being a nerdy single guy in Montreal to being a geeky married guy in Denver. From living with my mother to sharing a house with four roommates (at one point) to owning my own house. </p><p> It certainly seem that I have made a lot of progress. It's still early in my life. There's (hopefully) a lot more that will happen. We are still waiting to receive our adoption referral and are considering starting a concurrent adoption. We are talking about buying a bigger house since our house would just burst apart with 2 kids. And even that isn't that far out on the journey. Looking ahead I can see where my mother and my grandmothers are in their life. </p><p> There's a good reason why they call it a Commencement Exercise. It seemed like it was the end of an era back then (and it was). But it is also just the beginning of a much bigger journey. My friend is just taking her first steps in the post-graduation life. She seems to have it pretty much together with a job lined up and a man that she is very much in love with. I wish her the best of luck! </p> Wed, 23 May 2007 04:48:20 +0000 urn:uuid:82617dc1-7264-4979-93d3-42be7ed7939e fred@fredjean.net (Frederic Jean) http://blog.fredjean.net/articles/2007/05/23/its-been-10-years-already Personal General Adoption http://blog.fredjean.net/articles/trackback/87
