BYU-H class of 2008
June 23rd, 2008 by CarynThe Brigham Young University - Hawaii 2008 Commencement Ceremony took place on Saturday. I decided to check it out, as I had an uncle, cousin, and several close friends finally earning their degrees.
The ceremony was very nice, and rather solemn–I give a lot of credit to Vernelle Lakatani, the school registrar, for her efforts to correctly pronounce long, tongue twister names from Hawaii, Samoa, Mongolia, China, Tonga, the Philipines, Marshall Islands, and countless other exotic countries of origin.
Of course, once the ceremony was over, the madness began.
I had to sort through this crowd to give out the 8 lei I brought with me!
I thought these signs were adorable.
Congrats to all the graduates who are moving on to the next big step in their lives, be it careers or graduate school–you worked hard for it!

Wow! Those pictures make me want to graduate even faster. Well, I still have a year to finish my undergrad and two to three years more of grad school. Does that mean I get two graduations and two grad parties???

BYUH Graduation was totally awesome… even if my feet were hurting after walking. It was a very Solemn occasion… much different from my graduation from Kahuku… but still it meant a lot to earn my degree. Like KelliM, there’s still Grad school left on the ‘to-do’ list though. But of course AFTER I take a break. HA HA HA.
