and suddenly this tiny 14-year old has her Texas A&M class ring. I don't think I even got a college class ring (my roommate Ellen had stolen my high school ring), but at A&M it's one of the great traditions. You are entitled to order one when you have the right number of hours. The morning you get your ring, you receive a time. Maggie had 5:15 p.m. and we went at 5:45 and avoided the rush.
Alums hand you the ring and take pictures - I'm the one with the lump in my throat.
Maybe later I'll try to figure out how to get the pix in better, but not today.
Then you have your picture taken. We chose the fountain rather than the enormous class ring since it was dark.
Another great tradition is that only Seniors are allowed to do certain cheers. She's a real senior now.
