I hope I did that right. Shelley graduated last night with a Batchelor of Science in Nursing degree to go along with her Registered Nurse degree. She also graduated Summa Cum Laude (3.9 average), Nursing Honors, and Nursing Home Society Candidate. I know she's very proud of her accomplishments and so are we, her family and friends. Shelley worked awfully darned hard to achieve what she did.
Along to watch the ceremony was husband, John, daughters Lisette and Nicole, son Jake, friends Rachelle and Janice, brother-in-law George, and sister-in-law Rosie. We sat in awe and respect for the 200 graduates who were receiving various medical degrees, knowing that it hadn't come easy for any of them. They were all to be admired for their dedication to advancing their knowledge which would benefit every patient who passed their way in the future. Many, like Shelley, plan to further their aspirations by returning for even higher degrees. There was a lot to admire last night.
It was a magical evening and I knew that somewhere Shelley's father was taking note and feeling pride in his daughter. I could almost see his smile.
