- [00:00:15.280]of Pinnacle Bank Arena, it is May 5th, 2018.
- [00:00:18.610]I just graduated.
- [00:00:20.510]It's great, I'm very happy.
- [00:00:23.500]It means a lot, both my parents got degrees,
- [00:00:25.510]and it'd be a disappointment if I didn't.
- [00:00:27.420]So I worked hard,
- [00:00:28.880]I really wanted to get one as well.
- [00:00:30.980]I look forward to also pursuing grad school
- [00:00:32.770]and furthering my education.
- [00:00:34.350]It's an accomplishment and it's like the next step
- [00:00:36.510]in moving forward with my career.
- [00:00:39.040]Next, I'm going to be working full time
- [00:00:42.350]at my job here in Lincoln.
- [00:00:45.233](cheering)
- [00:00:47.660]I'm going to nursing school in Omaha in the Fall.
- [00:00:49.940]I actually took 43 credits this past year
- [00:00:52.680]and so that rigorous schedule is definitely I think
- [00:00:55.840]gonna prepare me for nursing school.
- [00:00:59.708](upbeat music)
- [00:01:02.160]I am relocating to Kansas City.
- [00:01:04.600]I'm gonna be joining AIG as an analyst.
- [00:01:09.120]I'm the first in my family to get it,
- [00:01:11.286]so I have other siblings watching this
- [00:01:12.920]so it's a huge moment for them.
- [00:01:15.430]My sister's a junior, so she's next.
- [00:01:17.470]It just taught me how to keep pushing, I guess,
- [00:01:20.183]keep pushing, then you get there at some point.
- [00:01:23.940]I can now almost build buildings, so that's that.
- [00:01:27.800](laughs)
- [00:01:29.543](students cheering)
- [00:01:32.417]No more studying until 2 a.m. every night,
- [00:01:35.460]preparing for midterms.
- [00:01:37.405]It offered me lots of internships and co-ops
- [00:01:39.980]and I think that prepared me professionally.
- [00:01:42.470]Next, I'll be goin' back to Omaha
- [00:01:43.950]to work for Omaha Public Power District.
- [00:01:46.379](cheering)
- [00:01:49.060]It means a huge milestone.
- [00:01:53.270]It's just something I never thought I would be able to do.
- [00:01:55.710]So, it's amazing to be able to do it.
- [00:01:58.170]I'm going to New York.
- [00:01:59.530]I have an internship at Brunswick Group.
- [00:02:01.967]Go Big Red!
- [00:02:02.874]Go Big Red!
- [00:02:04.500]It means a lot, I'm the first one
- [00:02:05.400]in my family to get a degree,
- [00:02:06.500]so that's pretty big for me, that's pretty exciting.

- [00:02:11.460]responsive and they're always there for you.
- [00:02:13.380]So, it's kinda good when you're goin'
- [00:02:15.130]through this transition of growing up.
- [00:02:16.830]It was a really good experience.
- [00:02:19.320]I'm probably going to take a break for awhile,
- [00:02:21.890]and I will either get a job or go to grad school.
- [00:02:25.860]I'm going to open my business, by own business.
- [00:02:28.430]Yeah (laughs).

- [00:02:33.720]Um, yay (laughs).
