MSSW- CONGRATS

Its official......I am officially done with grad school......I have finished with my MASTER OF SCIENCE IN SOCIAL WORK. I am officially done and I can not wait til I graduate May 10, 2008 so I can party that night........I AM SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY to be done. Now I can go to work and do the things I want to do and not have to worry about doing school work or at least for now. I am planning on going to Law School but I have numerous decisions to make in regards to law school so lets hope whatever decision I make that it is the right one and I dont regret it!!!

COMPARE ME??? WHAT FOR?!?!?!

Why is some of my family trying to compare me to my cousin? This is not a contest.....going to COLLEGE is not a competition! So why do it? Dont try to compare me with her because there is no comparison!! I love my family dearly but there has always been some type of jealousy between me and some of my family members. See what you dont know is that this has been happening since I was little. I was raised by my grandmother because my mother died when I was little and from that I have always been treated differently. I dont get it, I didnt ask for my mother to die when I was young, I also didnt ask for my grandmother to take me in and raise me either! That was my father's doing, but he was always there as well. Now that I have a cousin graduating from college with some type of degree, I dont know what it is, its like my family is trying to say that since my ENTIRE family came to support me that have to support to her too. That is true to some extent......see what you dont know is that my grandmother died when I was in college and I only finished college because of my grandmother. So therefore thats why my family choose to come and support me because my mother is not here. My cousin on the other hand has a mother....I DONT!!!!!!!! Thats the difference between us! So why is certain people trying to throw that up in our faces, thats not cool and I WOULD NEVER do that to anyone!!!!! I dont get it!!! So now I cant go to my cousin's graduation and I graduate with my Masters in a month. I think that since I cant go, they wont come to mine. But to be totally honest, I dont care because I did this for me and not for them AND my mother and grandmother will be there in spirit and smiling down on me and TO ME thats all that matters!!!!!!!!
