In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many graduations have either gone virtual or have been postponed or canceled yet again this year.
Lots of students want graduation pictures but either don’t want to work in close proximity to a stranger or can’t afford professional pictures to commemorate this rare moment of achievement in their lives.
The big question for many graduates is: Should I order a custom stole for graduation, or should I stick with the basic stole in my graduation bundle?
Whenever we attend graduation fairs, I have found many students were pondering this question.
Some of the questions asked at the Sash Company booth were, “Is it worth the extra cost?” “Do I really need it?”
Ahhh… The family reunion. You either love it or you absolutely dread it.
Planning and attending family reunions is such a great tradition to keep alive. And it’s one of those things you don’t always appreciate until:
- a) You have children of your own.
- b) You had a loss in the family.
Meet Dominique Wilkins. She graduated with her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Coppin State University, Summer 2019.
Like many students who attend college, she had her moments where she wanted to give in. The late nights, long hours, endless studying for results that didn’t seem to pay off. Through the support from her family, friends and faith she was able to stay focused on her academics. Her career choice falls hand in hand with her passion as she truly enjoys caring for others. Since childhood, she was constantly exposed to the healthcare field in great ways. Dominique’s parents both worked in the VA Hospital so it was inevitable that she would graduate with a degree in healthcare. Soon, more of the family lineage will follow suit as her niece stated that she would also like to become a nurse like her Aunty Dominique. This shows the great influence one can have on the next generation coming up.
