Chapter 5
Later that afternoon, everyone was getting ready for the graduation. Everyone was anxious for the big event. The house was bustling with activity. Mary, Sarah and Matt were all getting dressed up in their gowns. After each of them was ready, they came downstairs to a room full of guests.
"I can't believe it," Rosina gushed, when she saw her daughter and son-in-law.
She quickly snapped a picture of Sarah and then one with her and Matt together. Mrs. Camden did the same, taking pictures of her children. After the picture frenzy was over, Matt, Sarah and Mary made their way out the door. They needed to be at graduation early.
Once they got to the car, Matt got in the drivers seat, while Sarah sat in the passenger seat and Mary in the back seat. Within minutes, they had arrived at New York University. They parked the car and saw all of their classmates, heading towards them. Matt, Sarah and Mary each took there respective seats as they waited for graduation to begin. As they waited, they looked around for the family. They were all gathered in the front row.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, the graduation began.
"I would like to welcome all of you to this graduation day. We are pleased to honor these fellow students who have worked hard and achieved the requirements of graduation," the president was saying.
As they introduced each of students, Sarah and Matt were getting more and more anxious witheach passingmoment. Finally, it was their turn to get in line. As the names were called off, each stood in anticipation, just waiting for their moment.
"Mary Camden," the president called.
Mary walked up on stage. She could hear everyone cheering and clapping as she accepted her degree. This moment was bittersweet for Mary. She never really wanted to go to college. She decided that it was best if she didn't since she didn't know what she wanted to do. Finally, she had decided on an occupation and she knew that she needed to take the next step and attend college, so that is exactly what she had done…and now she was graduating. Matt's name was the next to be called. He walked across the stage and once again cheering and clapping could be heard. He accepted his degree and walked off the stage.
"Congratulations. I am so proud of you," Matt said as he hugged his sister.
"Congratulations to you too," Mary said. With that, they both went back to their seats. After Sarah had received her degree, she walked back to where Matt was sitting and took a seat next to him.
"I love you," She told him, kissing him.
"I love you too," Matt said, taking a hold of her hand. They had finally done it, they were doctors.
