honor

Watching my dad graduate was such an incredible honor. Earlier in the week he said that seeing people wear their formal graduation regalia inspired other students to continue working hard for their own degree. Seeing as how I completely skipped out on my own graduation which happened a couple of days earlier, I didn't really get it. But the moment he stepped onto the stage and got hooded by his professor, I understood. I didn’t really care for my bachelor's degree because it was simply too easy. I did struggle a bit at some points but it was never so challenging or so academically intense to the point where I felt challenged. After seeing him get his doctorate hood, I finally understood why I want, and need to go back to school. It isn’t just for a Dr. title or a raise, but the pursuit of knowledge. I’ve recently been thinking about how I am not smart enough. Not in an “I’m stupid way” but in a way that makes me desire to know more things. Not just facts, but education through experience too. Hopefully one day I’ll walk across the same stage when I receive my DPT. Time to start the application.
