Like fledglings, they have to leave the nest eventually.
A few of my student workers at the university I work for have graduated last quarter and will be leaving for bigger and better things in the months ahead.

There's this trepidation in his voice--a "what do I do now?" in his conversations. I'm still figuring that out myself but I told him to never lose sight of his passions and to keep working towards his dreams whenever he can.
He excels at photography and filmmaking, revealing his subjects from the inside out.
Here's one of the films he made late last year about a transgendered college student:

Dean!
I heard from him earlier in the year. He's currently overseas and back in school.
