4.On June 10,2003,I graduated from U of T,Scarborough.As I stood at University College waiting with hundreds of others,I suddenly felt overcome with emotion.My very long and personal journey to convocation had started 20 years earlier on the St.George campus.I first enrolled at U of T through the Transitional Year Programme in 1983.At the time I was a 30-year-old mother of two girls and married to"the boy next door."I was both excited and terrified,and felt a little like Rita in the movie Educating Rita-traveling daily to classes in high heels.I decided that it would be better for my family if I attended classes closer to home,so I transferred to Scarborough for my second year.After picking up the girls from school,I'd bring them back to the studio where I rehearsed.Much to my horror,they would crawl around on the catwalks high above me.They were 10and 12and loved being at"Mom's school."
My life changed drastically that year.On June 10,1986,my husband of 13years was killed in a horrific accident.I picked up my life the best I could under the circumstances and returned to U of T,but failed to get all the credits I needed.Twenty years later,on the eve of my 50th birthday,I e-mailed an old professor,who encouraged me to sign up for a new class he was teaching about writing for the theatre.This time I made it all the way through.
As I stepped inside Convocation Hall,I searched the crowd for my girls,now in their thirties.They were in the highest balcony,waving frantically at me-just as they had done from the catwalk in my drama class so long ago.I will never forget the look on the girls faces as they called out"Hi Mom."I finally felt complete.
