So this is Summa Cum Laude?

May 20, 2015 by Rachael Hubers

 

I’m in my childhood bedroom wearing polka dot slipper booties, Christmas pajamas, and a Burberry bonnet I bought in seventh grade because I thought it would make me cool. I graduated from college this past Saturday–so this is Summa Cum Laude?

Graduation is a happy time, or so the pictures say. Dolled up and adorned in ugly, flat hats and boxy robes with colorful tassels, my friends and I flashed bright smiles. But later that night, we cried over assorted chocolates and “celebratory” champagne while watching Taylor Swift music videos. And last night, after spending two days driving in a leaking, jam-packed car with my dad, I sat on my childhood bed and tears came again because home didn’t feel quite like home anymore. I am excited about working in Michigan and living by my family and boyfriend, but it’s more disorienting than I expected leaving somewhere I called home for four years.

About Me

Hi. I’m Rachael, a candid friend, writer, marketing specialist and former ACE-certified personal trainer on fire for God. I love joyful, simple moments with family and friends, tranquil morning hours, and heart-pumping workouts (hello, stair master!). I also enjoy Michigan lakes, orange roses, Chai tea lattes and non-fiction books.

One thing I know for sure is that faith is not just something we have, a good luck charm, or even a winding path. It’s a long, upward journey. God encourages us, step by step, to become more like Him. He works in our hearts as we work through the experiences of life. I encourage you to look back and enjoy the view with me, to savor moments and lessons that we’ve collected along the way.

Grab your sneakers and get ready to climb!
