To whom it may concern:
This is my day. Despite however you believe you are making my my day, it is obvious you have ulterior motives, plans, ideals. I have been in college for 5 years, with the help of a few people: which includes My Father, My Best Friend and my brother. Other than that, no one else has been involved helping me through my battles, knowing what i have had to go through and have achieved thus far.
If you all cannot behave yourselves, forget your differences with each other for the sake of my 5 years of hard work and celebrating that achievement, then PLEASE STAY HOME. Do not get involved. This is not about your quarrels or feelings being hurt. Don't cause drama.
If anyone had stopped to asked me how i want this day to unfold, then maybe there would be less confusion and issues. I am walking for my father, my brother and my best friends and younger siblings, fellow coworkers who have been there for me more than anyone has in my life ever.
If you would like to be around me on this day, please chill and have an open mind to the people I love and respect the most.
As for the, not only disrespectful, but hurtful and stressful situation few of you have put me under this last week or so, I want to make it perfectly clear that _____'s presence at my graduation will not only freak me out during a time which I am supposed to be happy and most comfortable, but will, and I AM DEADLY SERIOUS when I say, will jeapordize any future communication between us. In effect, if she wants to be selfish enough to sneak around taking a peek at me (without my consent nevertheless), not only is that creepy, pathetic, and self-absorbed, she will ultimately be severing any possible future interaction with me. At all. Ever. Period.
If you want to be a part of MY DAY, please give me space, dont buy me any gifts (unless you want to contribute to my student loans, money is accepted, please direct those contributions to my brother) and If things go well, you will be invited back to my house for VEGAN SUPPER (no complaints!).
Thank you for your time,
_____ ______ (what they will be calling at commmencement)
ps. Dont take pictures without asking me first, especially of my best friend, she doesnt like cameras or video.
p.p.s. I know this may come as a shock, but I may as well tell you now, I have recently gone into Hijab (the veil, headscarf etc) and I will be wearing Hijab at commencement. Do not make any snide remarks about Muslims. If you don't accept me and my decisions for wearing the veil (and I dont need to explain myself) then again, do not come.
