Title (Dublin Core)
This Was Suppose to be the Year
Description (Dublin Core)
As everyone who enters college awaits the day to hear their name called and receive their diploma as recognition to the monumental achievement you've completed. That would've been me, June 14, 2020 at 8:00A.M prepared for the day, gown ironed cap decorated and nerves everyone. However, COVID-19 had other plans. Quarantined, social distancing, cancellation of my achievement robbing me of the acknowledgement myself and thousands of others deserved. But has emotions fly high about not being able to have the commencement I've dreamed of, it also put a hold on any future endeavors I had. As far as careers after graduation, yes I had jobs lined up after graduation awaiting going into the office and starting a new chapter of my life. To then receive, "due to the pandemic we are no longer hiring at the moment and the hiring process will reach out to you again at a better state for the company" after getting through the rounds of interviews and questionnaires. This pandemic has not only halted my 2020 goals and future endeavors but has scarred me internally beyond any content. I've chose to speak my truth as there are many graduates all over dealing with the struggle of whether our hard-work has benefited us enough and has been defeated from this global pandemic.
