Regalia in the present...

It goes without saying that the world we live in today is unrecognizable from 20 years, 5 years, or even one year ago. The ongoing pandemic (wear a mask mask 😷 please) has changed every aspect of our world as we know it but one thing was greatly effected. The graduations. Each graduating senior had worked for anywhere from 12-16 years of their life to have a ceremony to commemorate their hard work. In my situation I was the graduation walk coordinator, as well as a speaker that would be present on the stage of our 20,000 person arena that was in the center of our city and was a major landmark for all of the students in the valley. Not only was this physical place a memory for everyone that was in my school, but for seniors all around and in different stages of their education, graduation marked a turning point in their lives, and when the pandemic hit, that was all taken away in a snap.

After this time when we all processed the grief behind the loss of our planned graduation we realized that we would not have the typical graduation, but one that has never been seen before. With this realization, our regalia became even more important to this experience because in this case, we had no place to hold our memories of graduation, but rather items. These items for me included color-coded cords for my clubs and achievements, a stole for my academic rank and leadership status, a gown fitted to me perfectly, and of course a custom designed cap.

Many other seniors were in the same situation in which they placed greater emotional value on these items during the pandemic because it was a way of holding on to what we lost during this difficult time. As seen in this image of me, I am proud to be wearing my cap that I designed for myself, as well as the cords and stoles that I earned with my hard work throughout high school. Even though we were not physically in the place that we expected; walking across the massive stage under the lights, to the sound of Pomp and Circumstance, we got our mementos of this time we lost, and personally I hold these closer to me now than I would've if I had a typical graduation.

What she tackles she conquers! Congratulations to @bornouniforms Chief Executive Officer #repost @iamnurseborno I decided to immortalize this moment for all the women out there who made the sacrifice to choose a career, schooling, or an entrepreneurship road and other priorities before having a child. Society will often pressure you to have a child before a certain age or to have one just because a woman is married. Don’t fall for this trap. You decide to make it happen when you feel ready to make it happen. This post is also for all the women battling infertility who avoid certain people or family members just because they don’t want to answer nor have the answer to when they will have a child. I don’t know your pain. I don’t know how you feel, but I am with you. Do what you have to do. Take your time and embrace your journey. You have no obligation to answer. This post is for all the women who have decided not to have a child for personal reasons. I admire your courage. I admire the fact you stand for what you want. Never let anybody make you feel inferior because you have not given birth. Do you, be you and be happy to be you. This post is for all the moms in general. Thank you for all you do daily from carrying a child, going through childbirth to raising a kid. However, you choose to do it; it’s your decision. Last but not least, this post is for all the intrusive people asking randomly when a couple will have a child. You don’t know their plan; you don’t know what they are going through, you don’t know how many lives they already lost... It’s none of your business, and you should focus on yourself. Oh, by the way, this pregnant lady has finally earned her master’s degree👩🏿‍🎓 What Elisabeth tackles, Elisabeth conquers!
