Is it running across the finish line after a 5K?
Or that feeling of relief once you checked everything off of your "to do list"?
...Or how about the gratitude you get when your mother tells you how proud she is of you?

Well that's what happened to me.
"May 19th, 2012 I graduated from Burlington County College."
My mother and I haven't always had your typical "mother-daughter" relationship. She wasn't my best friend, my advice-giver, nor my inspiration at any time. However, when I graduated from college, a moment of disbelieve occured to me. My mother told me she was proud of me. Not because of what I had accomplished or what I will be doing with my life, but because of who I am. That was the second time I have ever heard her say that. The other time it came up was during a fight and seemed less then meaningful and only a way of ending the argument.
Inside, that's all I ever really wanted. I wanted closer. No matter how much at times I resistanted her, deep down, I just wanted to know that I ment something to her. ...and I did. That day, I did more then just graduate.
I made an accomplishment.
I made an accomplishment.
