Gentlemen......

Well guys

I can finally say, I DID IT!! after four and a half years of blood, sweat, tears, and hard work on so many levels, i will be walking the line tomorrow morning and finally recieving a degree in Biology, with a minor in chemistry! Bachelor of science for that matter. I cannot truly express how i feel right now, and im still used to having that notion, I gotta do somethin for school, when all of a sudden (and that quickly) the hardest part is over... Im also the first to graduate from college from my family, so to them its a big deal. I had my rehearsal today.. so to you fellas out there, friends, family, good friends, adn those who know me..

remember me when ur out partying or having fun.

I did it guys!!

thanks for all of yalls support, push and for distractin me from school when i needed it the most... (IE a break)

Respectfully

Rick

Next step, federal employment, and possibly a diesel mechanics degree....

Congratulations!!! Enjoy the feeling of not having to do anything for school while you can. Pretty soon you'll be feeling like you have to do something for work...and then eventually for the wife....and then for the kids...and on and on and on. Welcome to the real world.

By the way....I have a BS degree and my wife says I'm very good at using it. . Could it be coincidence that my initials are BST??

Good job! I know how you are feeling.

The day I graduated from the Air Force Academy was almost surreal-- it took a few weeks for me to actually realize I was free!!

Congrats and good work!

Congratulations

So many kids today have no idea what they want, change majors 5 times and then drop out.

You are to be commended for your hard work and sticking with it.

Now go show the world what you can do.

Does that mean that you can explain the Kreb's cycle to me? I hate that darn thing, oh how I hate that darn thing...

What kind of profession are you looking into? What are some career paths for a BS in Biology? You mention Diesel mechanics, but I don't quite see the connection between Diesel mechanics and biology...

What college is that from?

In short, all I have to say is congratulations.
