My "baby" graduated College

I am shocked! Time flies by so fast. My youngest daughter graduated with honors from Marist College yesterday with a degree in Business Management. It was beautiful weather, and a beautiful graduation. My daughter has so much to be proud of. In 4th grade she was in the 45% on standard testing. I was told that I was expecting too much from her when I felt that she should be doing much better. We transferred her to a private school in 6th grade. Also had her evaluated, and found that she had mild ADD, and she has a language based learning disability. With a lot of resources and hard work, so has come a long way. Now she wants to persue something in the medical field, just like mom and dad. She will work for a year as an EMT, take organic chemistry and microbiology this summer, and apply to Physicians Assistant's schools in the fall. We are just so happy for her!

That's wonderful. Congrats to her and to you

My younger daughter in fourth grade was in the remedial math and reading class in her school. In two months she will receive her Ph.D in Ecological statistics from the University of St. Andrews
How lucky we are that are children didn't let fourth grade stop them.
