You Gotta Love Him...Valedictorian!!



We're so proud of him!

Yesterday...June 4, 2011 my son Andy graduated Law School!
With the honor of Valedictorian!!

What makes this day even more special is that this sweet boy put himself through school.  He made the decision to go to Law School. The first year and a half, he worked full time in a law office to pay his own rent and living expenses.
He rode a skateboard to work and class, and used public transportation.
He did 2 Internships in the D A's office.
And now.....FINISHED!  He gave his Valedictorian speech last night.
What a kid!...like I said...You Gotta Love Him!!

I'm one proud Mama these days!!

Kelly, Congratulations to your son-what a kid! And, congratulations to you, too. If he did not have good parents he would not have turned out to be the wonderful young man that he is. I hope he has a wonderful job lined up. xo Diana

What a blessing!!!

Amber@Munchkin Land said...

What is most impressive is not how smart he is, but that there are still kids out there with a good work ethic, that believe they aren't automatically entitled to their PARENTS money, and that it is OK to work through school! Amen to it all and much credit to the parents.
