This is a pic of me last year at my grad school graduation. Geek, or what?
I did this layout for future generations, b/c I think it holds an important message.
Journaling is on the pp behind the pic and reads:
To my children, and their children…

Never say never. I never thought I would achieve my goal of becoming a nurse; I never thought I would have a Bachelors Degree; and I never, ever thought I had the ability to obtain a Master’s Degree in Nursing (or anything else). But, one step at a time, and against all odds, I have realized my dreams.

From the time I was a young child, I aspired to one day become a nurse. My elementary school teachers (Nuns) sat me in the back of the room, paraded me around with a dunce hat, and retained me in sixth grade. My self-esteem was so low, that I dropped out of high school in the tenth grade. It took several years for me to have enough courage to sit for the GED exam, but I finally did, and passed. Many years later, I took classes at our local community college, and with the help and encouragement of my dear husband, I enrolled in the nursing program. It wasn’t easy with 2 small children, but I studied hard and four years later, became an RN. I enjoyed being a nurse, but wanted more. I eventually enrolled in the University, and after 8 years of hard work and perseverance, I have a Master of Science in Nursing. And… Summa Cum Laude’ – Who could have ever imagined it? Certainly, not me.
So, you see, you CAN do anything you want if you set your mind to it. No one ever told me I was smart – quite the contrary. I was motivated. I was goal-oriented. I was determined to reach my goal one step at a time. Never say never. Because you have within you the ability to make all your dreams come true.

Thanks so much for looking :)
