We went to A&M this past weekend to visit Josh and attend the A&M Class of 2012 Convocation. The class of 2012 is the largest entering freshman class in A&M's history with over 8,000 students representing 69 countries.
The event was an incredible experience for me as a mom. I was able to see the freshman class together (over 8,000 students) for the first time and the sheer number of them was amazing. Seeing them together, listening to them do their wildcat together, watching them sing the Aggie War Hymn together unified as a class...Wow!
The students were able to see that they are a part of something amazing, strength in numbers, they aren't the only ones starting out a new venture in life, realizing how massive their class is and knowing there are so many opportunities ahead for them...very exciting and inspiring for them as individual's and together as a class.
I came home happy, inspired and knowing that Josh is very happy being at A&M. That made leaving him there again this weekend much easier!
