I just returned from submitting my graduation application for my Master’s degree in Computer Science.
Now if you don’t know me in the physical world; I was never expected to finish High School. I failed four grades. I was suspended the grand majority of the time, and the other times I wasn’t really paying attention if you know what I mean. For some reason, near my 18th birthday, I realized the error of my ways. I cleaned up, hit the books, went to trade school, high school, and worked second shift full time all at the same time for two years. Of the four years I failed, I graduated only two years behind, that’s how much work I did.
To think I will have my Master’s degree is just insane. To think that the focus was on Theoretical Math as part of Computer Science is even more insane. The fact that the only time I’ve ever gotten straight A’s was in Graduate School on a graduated scale.
But do you know what the craziest part of it all is? I’m going to graduate with honors.
The smile in my mind is so big right now that it’s kind of funny.
