Graduation is one of many milestones and accomplishments anyone will complete in life. It is the ending of one chapter of your life and the beginning of a new adventure. Today, I finished graduate school; I graduated with my MBA. I have always dreamed of completing my Master’s degree, but I did not expect to achieve it at such a young age. Saint Peter's University gave me my moment to shine; I took advantage of every opportunity that SPU had to offer. College flew by in a blink of an eye.

I remember five years ago, I was starting my first day of college. I felt like a little fish in the big ocean. There were many clubs, organizations, and events to participate in on campus. There were also a lot of people from different backgrounds. It was overwhelming at first because of the number of people that were there. Ultimately, throughout my college years, I established heartfelt friendships. I even got to participate in a sport that I love and at the Division 1 level. I joined Saint Peter's University's swimming and diving team.

One of my main highlights of college was traveling the world; I explored two continents and a total of seven new countries that I was the first in my family to step foot found two of my passions in college; 1.) Travel and 2.) Volunteering. I enjoyed participating in community service. Having the ability to help someone in need is not only rewarding but fulfilling.

I chose to attend St. Peter's University for both my undergraduate years and graduate year; I could not be happier with my decision. My professors at SPU have been so kind and helpful; that they also enhanced my college experience. They go out of their way to help out any student; who has the desire to learn. Looking back at my college years, I have had many successes and challenges faced along the way. I would not trade my experience at Saint Peter's University for anything else. Even as an alum, I feel as if I have never left the campus. I feel like I am still a student going to class. Every location at Saint Peter's University gave me a fond memory with friends or with professors. As I now begin the journey towards my career, I know that I will always have a second home and have made a second family.
