Masked Graduate

Title (Dublin Core)

Masked Graduate

Description (Dublin Core)

I chose to use this photo because I feel as though it really reflects what the past few months have led up to for me. My graduation was something I had been looking forward to all of highschool, since I struggled my first two years to get credits and I’ve worked extremely hard to get to this point of finally earning my diploma. The cap and gown mixed with the mask shows that even with setbacks, being represented by the mask, you can find success, as represented through the cap, gown, and tassel. I spent the past few months worrying that I would never get this ceremony, and validation that I have succeeded, however I have learned throughout this pandemic that I do not need the fancy ceremony, or validation to know that I have succeeded. I am strong, and I am able to fight whatever comes my way.
