To the missed family gatherings, late nights with books instead of sleep, and the quiet moments of doubt met with bold determination. It’s for the graduates who gave up rest to rise, who traded weekends for wisdom, and who gained more than a degree—new friendships, opportunities, and the power of believing in themselves.
Whether you’re coloring for calm or to commemorate your climb, this coloring book honors every step you took to arrive here.
Because you didn’t just earn a degree. You earned your story.
For the first-generation college students rewriting family history. For the mothers who balanced diapers and dissertations. For the adult learners who returned to the classroom with courage.
You’ve studied during nap time. You’ve chosen textbooks over weekends. You’ve carried responsibilities that no syllabus prepared you for—and still, you made it.
"The cap and gown represent your dreams, the hard work, and the story you’re still writing." ~ Areatae
