Normally Graudation is a happy time.
But it sucks. Seriously? Our best and brightest students, with skills and experience that WE GAVE THEM …. leaving. Gone. Bye-bye. Sheesh. I’ll celebrate after I stop crying. Maybe.
Really though, think about it. We put all our time/effort/experience into our students. Why? To make them ready for the “real world” (am I ready?) … to make them people of excellence … to get a job, yo.
And we pay them poorly. And they put up with our mood swings 🙂 And they still have to smile to help pay like 10% of their tuition. But that experience is killer. And IF you didn’t screw up, then you might actually get a reference – once again proving it’s all about who you know.
My best to you grads. I want you back, and I’m cranky. But I want you to live and do … almost as well as me 🙂
