I was honored to be a keynote speaker at my own hooding ceremony. The speech was a joint effort with my very good friend and fellow student Karen Garcia. We collaborated to deliver a speech that would be valued by our fellow students (we all shared the same hardships, struggles, riotously funny class activities and inside jokes) and still be appreciated by our family and friends (who were clueless as to the funniest parts of the speech). We nailed it (or at least no one said we didn't!) and we somehow managed to leave the stage without shedding a tear. My husband is the Telecom Manager at UT and he was able to arrange for me to be the first graduate student to walk across the stage at commencement; a very great honor. The obvious thing about being the first to do something is this; there is no one to follow!
