Here is how I hope it happens: 20 years from now you look at the picture of you, with, or without the gown, and you say to yourself, Those were the days, life was so much simpler then!;

In 30 years you'll look at the picture and you'll say, Wow! I can't believe how young I looked back then, I look so naive!;

Then, in 40 years you'll look at the girl in the picture with the hopes and dreams, the stars in her eyes, and you'll think, oh my, what I wouldnt give to do it all over again, with or without the gown!!

What really happens no one can predict. I hope you'll enjoy the graduation and everything it is and means.
