Graduation

• I was in a graduation ceremony today for work.
• I usually don't say too much. I just introduce myself and announce a video that we have of the student's. This year I decided to say a little more.
• I mainly talked about how as an artist...you're never done with learning. They should always work on building their portfolio, resume and making connections.
• I also talked about how much growth I see from the associates to the bachelor program. I hope to see many of them come back to receive their BFA.
• I teach them in 1st year, skip the 2nd year, so I enjoy having them come back to continue their education. They just grow so much in both their artwork and maturity wise.
• The hardest part about graduation is knowing that you won't see the great students that you had for a long while.
