Yesterday, I began the process of saying goodbyes for the week. My roommate, Jake, left Wednesday morning to go to a student legislature conference. Jake and I developed a close friendship over the summer, so it was sad to see him head back west.
Tonight I will start packing my belongings to come home. It will be very good to be back in Greenville, although I will miss the fast pace here. Tomorrow is our graduation ceremony with Elaine Chao, the Secretary of Labor, as the speaker. My program director asked me to give the invocation to open the graduation program.
