Keepsakes of the Past

Week in Review: A Reflection of June 25 - July 1

My kindergarten picture

While going through some things on my bookshelf, I came across one of my photo albums. Inside were a lot of miscellaneous things I have kept throughout the years. I have awards of achievement, certificates for participation, and programs from performances.

Toward the back of the book is my class photo from kindergarten. I love that I still have this photo after all these years. I get a kick out of the fashion and hairstyles. I’m amazed that I still keep in touch with some of these people. Keeping mementos from your past can be fun, because you can look back at an object and recall an entire story. It’s also something you can show your children and grandchildren.

Graduation Day

We headed to Fond du Lac High School for Moraine Park Technical College’s graduation ceremony on Saturday morning. When I went to get in line I was told I would be the last person to go up on stage. I’m used to being towards the end of a lineup, but I was pretty surprised to be at the very end of this one.

The ceremony

We sat according to our program. I sat with my friends who were also receiving the Web Site Coordinator Certificate. Not only did I get a nice blue case for my certificate, I was also given a commemorative medallion in honor of MPTC’s centennial in a royal blue pouch.
