It is Graduation Time Again…
If I were 22 again I would tell myself, “Life has so many graduations for you. Enjoy this one from University and know there will be many more ahead!” I would want to take the pressure, which I personally placed on my own shoulders, off – so I could enjoy all the moment had to […]
