An important event occurred in my life this year and I forgot to post about it. On May 3rd, 2017, I was able to graduate from West Coast Baptist College with my masters degree in music. I was really excited about that because I had been working on it for three years.
I finished my thesis project just one week before graduation, and that was a HUGE relief.
Dan and I flew to California on Tuesday and arrived just in time to attend the special dinner that was prepared for the graduates and their families.
This picture is of five of the music masters students. The four of us on the left were graduating.
Wednesday Morning, Dan took this picture of me as I was driving to the college to find out whether I received honor cords or not.
Annnnd...it turned out that YES, I got honor cords, as did all of the other music masters students! There is only one music masters student missing from this group picture. This was right before we processed in to the ceremony.
After the ceremony, I took a picture with one of my teachers from my undergrad years.
It was a memorable time. I'm so glad that I got my masters degree! I really didn't question whether or not I should pursue my masters degree at all. I knew that when I finished my bachelors degree, I wanted to continue learning.
And I'm glad that I did. I was able to learn so much more; particularly about vocal techniques and directing choral groups.
