Iconic Traditions: Photographing Hokie Grads
Tech was a home right from the start. And so to come back full circle and take graduation pictures in front of Burruss, it's just an awesome chance to get. This is how I see it, you know, I'm making history for everyone that I take photos of. You know, maybe in like 40 years, they're gonna look back at these photos, and you know, I did that, so... It feels amazing to get my photos taken, especially in one of the buildings that's iconic to the school. I'm a first generation student, so it just means a lot that I'm just graduating in general, but from Tech, it feels awesome. This is the best four years that I've had so far in my life, you know, making new friends, making new connections, and building different relationships. And I've loved every second of it. It's kind of the culmination of all the hard work. It's kind of all starting to feel real. It's starting to feel like my four years are coming to an end, which is weird to think about, but it's definitely pretty special. I want to capture that emotion and the happiness that they feel, and they should be proud–she should be proud of graduating from Tech. So I'm really happy I get to take those pictures. It means a lot, you know. Sarida's a friend that I've had since my freshman year of high school, so it's really an honor to get my pictures taken by her. I feel really excited. So my sister came down all the way from Northern Virginia to celebrate with us today and take my pictures, so it's been a good day. It's a good one. I'm extremely proud to be a part of the Hokie community. Blacksburg is a second home to me now. There's not enough great things I can say about the school and how it's treated me. I'm just proud to be a Hokie.
