All the hard work is done.

All the hard work is done.

For me, it's never too late to share this memory. All the hard work is done and it's time to celebrate. Yeah!

I finished the Community College Initiative (CCI) Program and graduated from Scottsdale Community College (SCC) last month, but the euphoria is still sticking on my head. Trust me, it's kinda hard to let all the good memories out of my mind. I had two graduation commencement. First, the CCI Graduation with the other 15 cohorts. Host families, support team members, SCC Faculties, and Staffs were there at the Turquoise Room joining in a celebration of CCI Graduation. It was a glad yet sad time to say goodbye to them. It such a blessed to have them all to support me for a year.

Second, the SCC Graduation Commencement. I walked to the SCC Gymnasium, the place where the SCC Graduation Commencement was held, together with KG, Qasim Khilji, and Amara YEO. Four of us were Business students. We stood up in the first line and didn't expect that we got the chair right in front of the podium. What a great place to sit and the best moment to remember ever!
For the SCC Graduation, I have to pay $25 for the administration. I got five invitation cards that I could use to invite my family or friend to attend the SCC Graduation Commencement. I was so happy that some of my American families and friends were there.

Last but not least, words can't describe my feeling at that time. So, I took many pictures in the celebration both at CCI and SCC Graduation Commencement. More pictures are on my Instagram @melitaoktanawati ;)

Ah, I decorated my graduation cap a couple hours before the commencement with my favorite quote, "God is within her, she will not fail." ;)
