In my area, we are a few weeks out from college graduations and about a month out from high school graduations.

My son is 16 and boy is it hard to believe that he’ll be graduating high school in just two short years.

I can’t help but think back to my own graduations.

My high school graduation was at the top of my class from with joint graduation from a governor’s school dedicated to the interconnections between STEM.

Then, I was the first in my family to graduate from college.

I was so blessed to have all of my family (including both of my grandmothers) attend my graduation from UNC-Chapel Hill.

Neither of these women graduated from high school, far less college.

I worked so hard academically, physically and financially to graduate from college. I remember being on such a tight budget that I got really creative when it came time to send out my graduation announcements and invitations.

Let’s just say I DIDN’T order them the traditional way.

I wish I had known about Basic Invite back then.
