Two weeks ago, I was working on a graduation speech with one of my sixth students. We centered it around Mahatma Ghandi’s quote, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” I mean, the first part is pretty obvious, right? (If not, think YOLO.) And I truly believe in the second part – education, whether it’s in a classroom or not, is important to work on continuously. This weekend, Tina and I headed back to our college town to celebrate some of our friends’ big moment in life aka college graduation.
Congrats Tony and Ly! The main reason Tina and I were in Davis this weekend was to watch these two walk across that stage. Tina made them a new sign so they wouldn’t have their Happy Birthday sign up still, hahah.
Unlike many television siblings (and even real life siblings), Steph and I hardly bicker or hate each other. Growing up, even though we’re the same age, Steph always made sure I was taken care of before doing her own business. In fact, when she finished college and moved back home, I ended up eating eggs and ramen for three months because I had no one to cook me meals. (Don’t judge me. Those were one of the toughest times in my life, hah! And on top of that, I was really homesick for the first time during my college years since she wasn’t in Davis anymore.) Even now, when we work different hours, hang out with different people, and seem like we’re too busy for each other sometimes, we make it work. Whether it’s texting throughout the day or scheduling dinner or TV dates, we’re there for each other.
