Dear Future Longwood graduate,

Congratulations. All of your hard work has paid off. You are done with this chapter in your life and are now ready to flip pages and start the next part of your study. The journey to get to this point was made up of highs and lows. You have made incredible friendships with your peers, as well as faculty who aided you in getting to this point. We originally envisioned going on to get our PhD and if we are still on track right now your applications have likely been submitted for graduate school. Education has always been something you have strived for and that continues to push you. That’s good, let is push you. Continue to do better; continue to grow as a person. We do not know exactly where we will end up, but that’s part of the fun. Make each moment count. More importantly, I hope that you are happy, and that life is everything you hoped it would be and more. I can’t wait to see what we do next.
