Dreams Really Do Come True at SUU and 2012 Graduates Giveaway

As the class of 2012 is less than a week away from their commencement exercises, many of us find ourselves entering the real world and leaving the comfort of SUU and Cedar City behind. Do you remember your first night in your apartment in Cedar City? It was scary then and the real world will be scary too.

I am sure you came to SUU with dreams and goals and things you wanted to accomplish. Maybe your dream was to graduate with honors or maybe to just graduate. Maybe you wanted to be involved in a variety of clubs and organizations on campus. Maybe you came to SUU in search of a lifelong friend. More than likely you came to SUU hoping to find your passion in life. I would suspect most of us if not all of us in the graduating class of 2012 reached our goals and fulfilled our dreams. Some of my serious dreams and goals included to graduate in four years with honors, meet a lot of different people, to be involved, and to be married before I leave. The silly dreams that will be laughed at included, driving a Kubota, having a magnetic name tag from an organization, and to be in a SUU advertising publication.

I can say all of my dreams have come true while at SUU. Since all of my dreams came true at SUU, why can’t they come true when I enter the big scary real world? It will take the same effort and work I have put in at SUU in the four years I have been here. Dreams really do come true at SUU, they will come true no matter where I end up. They will for you too! A quote by Brian Littrell says, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” Class of 2012, go shoot for the moon, land in the stars and be happy with life and where it is taking you.

Charley Hamilton is a Communication major in the Graduating Class of 2012.
