Image description: A man with brown skin and dark hair with a graying beard looks outward at the viewer, he is surrounded by a diploma, a stack of books, an hour glass with the dates 2012, 2019, 2027 on the sand, a cell door, and the head of a wild mustang in front of a landscape. In the distance is also an image of what appears to be the same man wearing a graduation cap.
