This past wednesday my high school and middle school system KIPP held their annual College Pennant Ceremony for alumni. What happens is KIPP graduates that finnished their first semester of college and those who graduated college walk on stage in front of all of KIPP Houston students and deposits a plaque with their name in a huge graduation cap. Quite awesome because you know that you are helping push the high schoolers and even elementary students to stay in school.

I got to catch up with some friends that I had not seen since they went off to boarding school in 8th grade. Now we were back and had all finished our first semster of college. Something that seemed so far away since it was first fed to us in the summer of 2005. Never thought it would be this fast, and now I am a college freshman. Feels Great!
