\u201cIt comes from the show \u2018Parks and Recreation.\u2019 It is one of my favorite shows and I feel like the quote is really applicable to anyone who is graduating, myself included. The things that we achieve in life are not only a testament to our own hard work, but also to the people who support us, love us and root for us along the way, and I really wanted to make sure that I highlighted that in my cap.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>\u201cI chose to decorate my cap with the iconic statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse at Disneyland and one of Walt Disney\u2019s famous quotes. My parents have been bringing me (to) Disneyland since I was a little girl, so it has a special place in my heart. And I find Walt Disney\u2019s story very inspirational, so I thought it would be the perfect representation of myself and my college experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a few reasons why I decorated mine the way I did. First, I have always been fascinated by the human heart, and my career will be based around cardiothoracic surgery<\/span> \u2014 <\/span>open heart surgery and the chest cavity. Also, while at (Western), it was the first time that I was willing to accept that I have very high anxiety \u2026 I learned that mental health is a very real and very important aspect of life. I have spent the last four years accepting that notion and working \u00a0on finding ways to manage my anxiety as I get closer to adulthood.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
