Graduating Magna Cum Laude - with distinction!

Facebook message from Ashley 3/3/14:

Guess whose daughter is graduating Magna Cum Laude with her Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education in May?!  Yours is, Rebecca Mills Christeson

 

Response from mom:

Guess whose parents are bursting at the buttons with pride Ashley babe!!  Especially considering all of the mammoth life changes you have dealt with in just one year; none of which surpass pregnancy, giving birth, and raising a baby with such joy and grace while under duel stress of completing a degree with honors including student teaching while developing constant lesson plans and attending Saturday workshops tied to your music scholarship!  You are an incredible example of drive, organization, sacrifice, faith, passion, love, and true grit! ... Drum roll please ... Giving you my two clap! (standing ovation). xoxo

PS  The school bus behind you was to represent your passion for teaching in the home, at school, at church, in the community. You have a life time of choice experiences ahead of you influencing many lives for good Mrs. Nerdin :)

From preschool to college graduation - through the years ...
