On April 21st, I will see a dream come to fruition. I have, with contributions obtained from 3 honor societies at the college I'm attending and the Drake's Nest Studio, obtained a bronze plaque for the Center courtyard gardens. The plaque reads, "Dedicated to the Memory of, and in Honor of, those ACC Students who dared to Dream." The gardens were my late step son's favorite spot and one that apparently not many on campus were aware of. Bart was killed in a senseless auto accident 2 weeks after he graduated and 3 months before his dad and I were married. I made a promise to him that the gardens would be dedicated to ALL students, past, present and future who had a dream and came to ACC to help get it fulfilled. The plaque will remind and thank them for a Job well done and that NO dream is impossible to achieve.
ACC helped this "old girl" obtain her Associates Degree last year and I am not going for my Bachelor's so I can honestly say you're never too old to go back to school or get that degree.
My heart soars on wings of Eagles tonight to know that the honoring of the memories of those students, and my son, will live on in the gardens. I have walked my talk.
