Dedication to June 9 2005..

So this one is dedicated to that very special day.. June 9th 2005 . The day that the class of 2005, moi included (hehe) graduated from The American University of Sharjah. The day that marked the beginning of an entire new journey in our lives.A moment of joy and pride..! Not to forget, this is also dedicated to all of those people in my life at A.U.S. who made it worthwhile!

Today, 2 years later,I watch the class of 2007 walk and I still feel the rush of excitement that i felt when i first set foot on the stage. I still feel the urge of wanting to break free, the urge to shout out.. I'VE DONE IT!! Tears fill up in my eyes as i remember quite vividly, that day and the days that led to our graduation!.

4 years of fun, laughter,sadness,pain,sleepless nights, anxiety, romance ( yes that included!), fear, anticipation and more... most importantly... 4 years of hard work. Today, i want to thank so many people for making it happen. Of course parents come first.. and i thank them for giving me the best at all times, including my education at A.U.S. But how can i forget my friends, who got me thru those 4 years, making it so memorable.
So here i go, 5 of the most important people who made it extra special for me.. if ive left anyone out.. its simply coz people complain i write long blogs* wink*
