We attended the graduation ceremony of
The Student yesterday! She finally got the graduation cape and the hat, and she got her few seconds to shine on the stage!
It was a proud mom-moment, because it feels like we have achieved something as well!
I know I did not do any of the hard work, or worked through the nights, or helped her with any of the studies. (Only a little bit of research some times from my side...)
But we made it possible for her to study. (Cha-ching!! and I am only starting to work back the bursary...) There were times that we said we did not know how we are going to do it, but our focus will be on the completion of the studies. She also knew there was no do-over available! This was it!
And she did it!
I am very proud of her, and so glad that she has something to show for her hard work.
The speaker spoke about the importance of time yesterday: "The importance of a year is so much more appreciated by a student who has to re-do that one year!..."
The wonderful time at university she is having now, is coming to an end at the end of the year. I hope and I know that she is making the best of it! (So glad she is enjoying it!)
It was only the other day I complained about the
initiation practices, and in the meantime they have abolished most of it!
We had some
pep talks along the way to keep her going, and she also learnt valuable
life lessons while studying.
But here we are! She is busy with a post-graduate diploma, and busy thinking about the next stages of life already!
And we are left with the question: "How did it get here so quickly!"
Well done, my girl!
Love you!
