You will realize everything grows extremely fast you like you did those past four years.
Your family, significant other and friends have been with you along the whole journey and you will now more than ever feel as if it was all worth it. When graduating you will [prove to them that all their nice and encouraging words motivated you to accomplish something that once seemed impossible.
