I am the only one in my family to graduate college. It was a proud moment for me to receive a degree.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For me specifically, it was important to graduate. In my family, I was one of the first graduates. My mom did not have a college degree. My dad did not have a college degree.
The thing I'm most proud of is that I've raised a lot of money for certain charities - breast cancer and the Caldecott Foundation and the NSPCC. But as far as my self-esteem is concerned, doing 'The Graduate' for 11 months was fantastic.
I feel so gratified about having finished college. I learned how to articulate myself. It gave me confidence more than anything. And also the ability to analyze the text.
My parents were very proud of me. After they passed, my career doesn't mean as much to me.
I think I really benefited from going to college.
I was the first one in my family to go to college.
Getting through high school and college was one of my greatest achievements.
College was just so essential for my sense of self and my development.

I didn't finish college, which is really weird because they awarded me the Alumni of Distinction recently.
