Counterfeit

And then I stood there with others, wearing those fake graduation robes, hat, and holding that fake degree that I still don't have , posing for the college magazine. They all looked happy even in the fake environment. And I stood there, embarrassed. Even if I had actually completed graduation, I would have been embarrassed to wear those robes. After four years in that place, with those people, I still can't come to terms with calling myself a would be computer engineer. And I guess, whether or not I hold that real degree, I'll always remain an aspiring computer engineer ...

getting that degree, irrespective of how worthwhile you find it is the first baby step towards being a computer engineer.

Though you may show me exceptions, remember they are that "exceptions to the rule".

So what embarrassment! This is your push to the outer world.. What you make of it is left to you.. what others make of it is left to them [and let them be that. none of your business].

Your college has done its role by conferring the title, now it is your time to "be" a computer engineer.
