The graduation actually turned out even better than I thought it would. The downside was that Ethan, and of course my Mom and Dad, weren't there also, but Rick, Amy, Val and Sherri more than made up for the absence with cheers, congratulations, flowers and good wishes!
Val and Sherri also treated me to a new "do" for the event along with taking me out for a celebratory drink at the end of the night! All in all it was a very memorable occasion ...and to think I almost didn't go!
It was a great opportunity to meet Dolores Harms Penner who has been head of the program since I started the courses..(that in itself is a miracle since I've been going for so long) and some of the classmates that up to now have been only names on a computer screen! It was interesting to put a face to the names, albeit a little overwhelming trying to remember who was who!
My challenge now is to find a way to make my diploma and all my hard work pay off for me!!
Stay tuned...till then...I'll say Wen..
