Aggie ring

It's ring day yesterday!

and Yes! It's finally my turn :D

One word- BLESSED!

I feel that I'm so blessed with wonderful friends around, opportunity to come to Texas A&M and get my degree here, great Godly mentors to learn from, fun, true and sincere Christian fellowship to be in and serve in... (and the list goes on forever)

Just to clarify, 

aggie ring is a symbol that I am a Texas A&M University student/graduate. I have to earn it by finishing up certain credit hours and nope, it doesn't come free, I bought it!

It ain't cheap either. 

Ever since I came here and found out about this tradition, I have been thinking if i should get one. But the cost of it made me doubt big time. 

What more can I say now?

God blessed me with a job that I love, and I thought 'Yea, I guess I can afford this now! and Yes, I want this to be a permanent memory of my time here.'

So there I go, registered for a slot, try out different sizes and styles, picked one, paid for it, and waited for 4 months... WOLA! Finally got my own personalized aggie ring! :D

I decided to purchase the antique gold ring just because I can see the design and carving more clearly as they all symbolizes important meaning of the university and students.

shield: protection of the good reputation

13 stripes: 13 original states, patriotism

5 stars: intellect, body, spiritual attainment, emotional poise, integrity of character (5 phases of student's development)

Eagle: agility and power, reaching great heights as ambitions
