Yesterday, 40 graduate students joined for a group photo at the University building downtown, including me. There were more graduates, nearly one hundred and ten. Surprisingly, the setting for this photo was prepared for no more than fifty. My younger friends were there, but not all. I was the only one in gray hair and fifty six years.

I had a nice chat with some of them before the shoot-up. A bit later, we were called to the stand where the photographer arranged all of us in the best place for the final take.

We were all groomed up and ready; smile! Click once, click twice; now all cheering. Congratulations!!!

The funny thing about all this, was watching the Dean approaching me with a happy face and cheering content for my effort, although he never actually knew who I was.

I graduated from my masters program in International Business Administration, now what?
