My graduation day in high school was just the beginning of my academic fulfillment.
My graduation in the secondary education was my first few steps in achieving my dreams in response to the challenges of my early-adolescent life.
Then...
The day I graduated from college was the completion and culmination of my training in the academy of Tertiary education.
My four years at the academe made me earn a bachelor's degree in the midst of countless challenges and overwhelming struggles.
Such was a real fight for survival of the fittest in the college with an ultimate goal to remain on top of every member of the student body!
Hence, earning a gold medal in recognition for such achievements in my four years of burning my midnight candles was the sweetest reward pinned on my chest by the Superintendent of the College. It was a sure sign of finishing the goal in the tertiary education with flying colors.
The pinning, as part of the graduation ceremonies, declared me as graduate from college.
It gave me a different kind of feeling: a feeling of great achievement yet an overwhelming feeling because I knew that after the ceremonies comes a great struggle in finding a teaching job.
Getting employed in the teaching profession during those years of depression was not that easy.
