Graduation Day

This is me on Friday afternoon accepting my diploma for my Associate of Science in Business Administration. My daughter graduated with me and we managed to sit together (the school requested that we line up by height, but we cheated). Graduating with my daughter was so fun - as we stood in line to receive our diploma - she kept saying - "We're almost there". My mom and step-father took us out for dinner afterwards and we had a great time.

Yesterday she and I had a big graduation party with family and friends. My son barbequed chicken and steak, my sister brought her fabulous seven-layer dip, I made a great salad, and my daughter made the margaritas. We had a blast! I always enjoy watching my friends and family get together and watching them interact. It is just so great to see the people I care about talking to each other.

I Remember Always - Graduation Day

I am back to putting song titles in my blog. I went back to school in 1991, the year that my son started kindergarten. I was a full time worker, a full time single mom and a part time student for 15 years and this summer, when I had some time off work I took the last two classes. I completed my Associate of Science (AS) in August 2006. This is a major accomplishment for me and one that I am so proud to have accomplished. I am proud to be able to add the degree to my resume and hope it will open some new doors for me.

My daughter Beth went to school part time and worked full time for the last few years, and she completed her AS in December. My daughter, Beth, and I will be graduating with our AS degree in Business on June 8, 2007! I am so proud of her and all that she has accomplished. She was an assistant teacher at a local Montessori school for 3-4 years and became a head teacher when a new school opened 2 ½ years ago.
