Sharing my Accomplishments
Posted by bus44 on August 13, 2009
Even though our society doesn’t really care for people that brag about what they have accomplished, I still like to have my diploma display setup to show everyone that I graduated from college. It took me a lot of time to get my degree, and I have it on the wall to show others and myself that I was committed to something at one time.
I can’t say that there have been many accomplishments since that point, since my life has been mostly consumed by my work. Being a dentist takes up a lot of time, and since there is a shortage in our town, I find myself at work more than I am at home. I am thankful that I don’t have any kids yet as I would not have enough time to be a good father.
But, that college diploma frame reminds me of a simpler time and the one good thing that I did in my life. Sure, if someone asks about it, I would share the story about it, but sometimes just sitting here at my desk at home, looking at the diploma, I feel a sense of inner peace. To this day I am still amazed that the diploma on the wall is mine.
