In a few minutes I’m headed out the door to one of the most exciting events of the year! One of our graduate moms is achieving a milestone for Hope Alive resident women. She is graduating from Frederick Community College this evening with her first college degree!! I say first because she has her sights set on earning a doctorate degree and as determined and motivated as she is I believe she’ll do it!
I know when she and her son came through our doors nearly 3 years ago that she never imagined this day would arrive. At that time she merely dreamed of attending college. Since then, her hard work and determination has been recognized with numerous awards, scholarships and superb grades! Now that she has an associate’s degree under her belt she feels that anything is possible! And beyond that, she has hope of a wonderful and successful future for herself and her family. She'll be the first to give all the credit to God and the wonderful things He has done in her life!
A few of our staff will be present and you can bet we’ll be cheering the loudest as she walks across the stage to receive her degree. You might want to check out our June newsletter as we’re hoping to include a photo with her in cap and gown and what I bet will be a big wide smile! Time to go! Can’t wait! Until next week …
