Veronica’s #WritersDiary, #ShoutOut to the Class of 2020, #Permission Granted!
This post is dedicated to the graduating class of 2020!
Dear Seniors,
You are graduating in unprecedented times as I’m sure all of you know by now. Senior year is supposed to be a time of hopes and dreams–tearing away the tethers of a childhood academic world and venturing out into the ‘real adult world’ with a job or higher education and all the trappings that these right of passage experiences hold. None of us could have imagined a global pandemic shutting down life as we had known it–but it’s happened and here we are. I just want you to know that we will get through this event just as other generations before us have many, many times. The hopes of the world are with you.
We will be transformed, new ways of life will emerge, and for you, the new graduates, will come unending new possibilities for careers and livelihoods. Career fields in technology, industrial complexes, healthcare, service providers, entertainment, communications, education, law, government, the arts–you name it, every line of business will need innovative, creative lines of thought as to how they operate in this #pandemic world (post and still to come), and this will be your challenge, and your legacy. Know that you are not alone–you will be supported as we emerge into this brave new world. Chin up—head held high–you got this! Congratulations, graduates of the Class of 2020, God speed. Permission Granted To Change The World!
The picture above is of our lovely niece, Shauna, daughter of my sissy, Gayle and BIL, Keith, who is graduating from high school in the Class of 2020. Her senior year/graduation events came to a grinding halt with the #lockdown. I wanted to share her senior picture with you–and also the very clever snap of the digital bill board her high school put up to showcase the graduates of her class to the community. I thought that was a brilliant way to give them the accolades and recognition they so deserve. Shauna has decided to pursue a career in nursing, a noble profession I am so proud of her to study. Congratulations, Shauna–hope to see you soon my little fashion-niecesta, miss you so much! #XOXO, Aunt Ronnie and Uncle Bruce

Sorry (sniff), I had to interject a bit of humor as I wiped the tears from my eyes
