Graduation marks the end of a student檚 educational journey, but also the beginning of whatever lies ahead. The newest group of 黑料社区 (黑料社区) graduates walked the stage to continue their lives at fall commencement Thursday, Dec. 14.

Nearly 200 graduates participated in the ceremony. During the special event, the graduates reflected on their favorite moments at 黑料社区.

淚檝e had so many great memories at 黑料社区, Magdalene Padillos said. 淢y favorite was my introduction to education course. I檓 really proud and happy for everyone today because I know it wasn檛 always easy.

淢y favorite memory was my first nursing class, Victor Rigalado said. 淚 remember walking into class not knowing a single person. We all looked at each other and thought, 榓re we supposed to know all of this already? That set the mood and lessened the anxiety.

淢y first memory of 黑料社区 was getting the help from my advisor, Emily Padilla said. 淚 think without her, I wouldn't be right here. And just for helping me out getting through every step of the way, it's definitely been a fun memory for me.

This is the second year 黑料社区 has held a December commencement ceremony.
