I was afraid of staying an extra year to get my second degree. I was afraid that my great-grandmother wouldn't be able to see me graduate because she got sicker and sicker as the years went by. Here I was trying to focus on my education and my family wouldn't tell me if it was getting better or worse. They wanted me to stay focused on what was in front of me. I was supposed to graduate with a degree in accounting in May 2015, but I decided not to be afraid and got my management degree with the mindset that she would stick it out for another year. That summer I came home to be with my family and she passed away on June 22, 2015. I was depressed and angry at myself because if I had decided to graduate and not get my second degree she would have been here to see me get my degree . I could have shown her that I did it like she always said I would. I wanted her to be proud of me. I got lost but when I realized that even if he is not with me physically he is still with me in my heart. I know she looks at me proudly as always and when I graduate in May she will be walking with me
