Graduation!!

It’s finally over. Yesterday was a monumental day in my life. It felt like I have accomplished half of my goals in life. I have graduated as a class of 2006 in the Bulldog nation. I plodded on for the rest of the day how monumental the day was for me. Seeing my family and friends yell my name when my picture came on the big screen of the football stadium had strike me profoundly. If only words could explain how great and wonderful people were to me.

I earnestly endeavored to accomplish this degree, but this would not be the climax or the end. I know very well that life has a lot to offer. And I will try with the help of Allah to accomplish more. May Allah send them more degrees on my way! I have accomplished one of the wishes of my late father. My father trusted me to finish college. I can truly state that I have accomplished one of his wishes. I wish to dedicate this degree to him to all the goodwill and the wisdom he has imparted on me as a young kid. I have resisted any temptation that would have made this day imposible. Thank you dad for all the good role model you instilled on me. I can not persuade myself that they could have been a happier than you on that crowd if you could have been alive today.

My heart and thanks goes to my two cousins who flew from Toronto and Detroit to Atlanta. I can not repay what my cousins have done for me this day. There was no other way they could show what a gentlemen they were than being helpful and role models. I take this moment to thank them all .Thank you all….
