Wow this chapter in my life has truly been memorable. Even tho I posted about PTK in my last post, it needs to be shown again bc it really made my time at WCC special. I still can’t believe I’m the Valedictorian of my graduating class. Really grateful for life and the opportunities I’ve been given. Even tho this virus hasn’t let us celebrate, I know we will eventually. Rene in the last photo is me during finals #Dear2020WCCGrads

To my fellow graduates of Westchester Community College, we all worked so hard to get to the point, especially since COVID-19 took us all off-campus and we all converted our homes to virtual classrooms via Zoom. We made sure we would all finish and for that, I say, #dear2020wccgrads we did it! We finished our first 2 years of college. Congratulations to my fellow May graduates as well to the graduates of August and December.

So my school asked if we could post a picture or video of ourself in navy or gold to celebrate the 2020 Commencement of WCC Grads; this was the best I could do🤣💁🏻‍♀️…Seriously, I am overjoyed and proud of how far I’ve come to complete my degree!! This degree has been 10 yrs in the making, and I cherish every second of the 10yrs!!! I want to thank the entire faculty at WCC, my Professors, and classmates who have become my friends over the years; without your positive reinforcement and encouragement, I might have given up a long timeago!!! I want to thank my family and close friends for always pushing me and reminding me that this is my time!!!! Last but not least, to my fellow graduates and all other 2020 graduating classes, WE DID ITTTT💪🏼‼️🎉👏🏼🎓🥂 this by far is one of the most challenging times, but with perseverance, determination, dedication, and grit we hurdled every obstacles that we were faced with and came out on top!!! If ever the road gets hard, remember this moment, you can achieve whatever you want as long as you never give up!!! Congratulations to all my fellow graduates, the best has yet to come♥️💐 #Dear2020WCCGrads
