My Graduation

Well, I did it! I finally graduated from dental hygiene school! I officially have my Bachelor's in Science in Dental Hygiene, my paper says so! haha. It's so exciting to finally be done and never have to go to school again unless I want to. And best of all, I have a useable skill! I always knew I wanted to go into something that I could use right away and there was a defined job for it. You still have to take four different Board exams to become licensed as a dental hygienist, but at least I'm graduated and have my degree!

A good portion of my family was able to make it out for my Graduation. It was so fun and exciting to have them there. It just makes that celebration that much better. It was so nice to have them there supporting me, thank you family!

Graduation was so much fun! It was held at the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo. It was about two hours long and a great ceremony. It felt so surreal to graduate! The whole time all I could think was ...don't trip, don't trip..., haha. Then before I knew it, it was over, and I didn't trip thank you. I will miss my UCDH chicas class of 2009, and all the great friendships that I've made. I guess it's time to move onto the real world.

Thank you for everyone who came out to my Graduation!
