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

Incrediable!!! What a blessing!!!!
What a blessing!!!
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.

How proud you must be to have such a fine (and handsome) son!
He will most definitely be a great success in life.
Way to go Momma!
Smart, handsome, and self-motivated? What a great combination! Congrats to your son and to you, his parents!
"Better late than never" I say so ....
a big congratulations to Andy and best wishes for his success in the future. IMO he is more than half way there re the latter.
It's obvious that you did a great job raising him Kelly.
Sincerely & Many Hugs -Brenda-
