Coastal Carolina Community College celebrated its 47th graduation today – while I celebrated my 28th. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day. It was cool for mid-May, there was a wonderful breeze, the sky was a brilliant blue, and there were smiles as far as the eyes could see. Everyone is happy on graduation day. Graduates, families, friends, faculty and staff are all joyous – all for different reasons, I’m quite certain. And Coastal really knows how to throw a graduation! The ceremony is over in about an hour and then graduates along with their friends and family are invited to the cafeteria for an old-fashioned barbeque lunch. It’s incredibly hard for me to believe that I will only celebrate two more graduations at Coastal. Coastal Carolina Community College is more than my workplace – it’s like a 2nd home filled with friends and family. And my students are consistently the best – EVER!
