Graduation day: This is a day like none other, I've sacrificed and toiled finally to celebrate with all my sisters and brothers. All in the name of education as well as productivity, on my way to winning at this game, which will eventually provide prestige, "power" and money. My family is present, proud and boastful of what is quite evident. Taking photos of friends and loved ones, how would I have ever celebrated this without them. This must be done for in time it will be nothing but a moment in time, a way to reminisce with those I love and take my children back in time. A reminder from whence I've come when all is done, nothing can take it away, for in these pictures it will be plain as day. Now that I've proven to be a worthwhile investment, my Dad stands proud in knowing I will be much more than Magna Cum Laude! As formy Mom, I love her, she's a special woman, she would love me the same whether I'm successful in life or if I toiled in front of an oven.She amazes me with her consistency. Plans have been made and gifts bought to reward me, omg---what a relief, I am ecstatic and truly happy. In knowing that I'm almost there, it's only a matter of time before I'm free and clear. For in an hour or two level 1 is through, I've graduated and moved on to level 2. The hustle and bustle, the excitement of the crowd, has everyone frantic, restless and aroused. Honorees patiently sit and wait, to hear their name condoning what we've all deemed as fate. Another level, a new height, I've accomplished that which I must by distinctly setting my sites on... Magna Cum Laude and Valedictorian, who would of thought, not me in this century! But I persevered, If not for my families support, no way would I have won this Emmy. Wishful thinking but all in the same, I'm being awarded---- this is the Grammys, and in my right hand I hold My first Emmy! Now that all is said and this day is done, around the corner awaits another game to be won, another test to pass, and another mission to accomplish. I must live up to my family name, and hold the reins amongst the elite and the distinguished, I've arrived in the name of my last name. Everyone is privy to bear witness to all I have accomplished. As Valedictorian I've naturally commanded the attention of the entire audience. With every ear at attention and all lips are sealed I bid this plain of excellence farewell. I've ranked high, with a future that will touch the sky. Some where some how other graduations are taking place. One that doesn't require an invitation, photos or congratulations, friends or family, simply 1 that's content and happy. There are "other graduates" but they also celebrate alone, due to timing and the stars, in time destiny allows them to know who they are . Absolutely no cap or gown, neither a dress or suite, something as simple as plain garment or ones birthday suit. No reservations, expectations, cards or balloons, in silence this 1 is guided through thought as to what will occur soon. Awareness is suffice to get the message across. A quiet arrival attended by 1, intended for those who have barely kept their head above ground, but treaded for miles in order to get to the place where they now stand. Although out of breath, continued to go on, with no map and little instruction, they will get to their destination. Acquired all knowledge through trial and error, they've excelled beyond measures and their seen as being ingeniously clever. There's no need for rewards or accolades, they gaze in silence, while memories play back all that transpired, knowing that on this day it will all expire! Tears are present but cannot be shed, there's no reason for remorse all their pain has come to an end! No more surving, striving, worrying about making ends meet, no more dismayed because friends and family have not been discreet.. Now it's for you to lift your head, and look ahead, there is so much in store for you, that in time the need for family outside of your immediate family will be dormant or dead. Tunnel vision is your new vision, from hence forth practice, and the experience you've experience will never ever again happen. From a distant the crowd looks on in amazement, how could this be, you were destined to fail, how in hell did you prevail? That question is not for you to answer, if asked be for certain that individual wants to pull the trigger. A trigger of any kind, wolves don't only fancy sheeps clothing, their entire wardrobe will blow your mind. As we speak one is on it's way, always know your opponent, and be aware of the games they like to play! How convenient, what are you doing here? For so long you stood on the outside looking in, a close friend with hopes that I chose to lose instead of win. So what do I owe this visit? A few words of smoke before you end it. End it? End what, how can you say this, I been a friend and will always Luv you, until the end. (smile) You've always chosen your words very carefully,for a minute there you had my attention, never mind I wont entertain this conversation. You're only here because you are a good deceiver, with hopes your charm will lead me to believe ya. Don't stand in the shade, walk into the light, I want to see your true colors, if not then good night. Then so be it......Go back from whence you've come, what I'm celebrating is only intended for 1! You've served your purpose and played your position, although you've failed at completing your mission. I am no longer at the place I once used to be, I've graduated there is no turning back even if it were up to me. Excerpt from Serpant and snakes Vonda G. NelsonAbout the Author:
