#35 - Graduate from University

Well, I am proud to say that we have knocked another item off the list! This has been 6 years in the making and I could not be more proud of Kaitlyn.

I have only known Kaitlyn for four years now, and have only lived in the same city for one of those years, but within that short time it didn’t take me long to figure out that she is one smart cookie! I have to say that she has been one of the most outstanding students I have ever met. She is the most motivated and naturally talented girl that I know and will do anything to pursue excellence.

Without her even knowing it she has inspired me to keep pushing through classes even when I felt like giving up. The tears that I wanted to cry were held back because she understood how hard those classes are. She would always give me mini-pep talks (probably more to help her through her ridiculous econ courses) that kept me motivated and committed to studying.

Graduating with Honours in Economics cannot be easy; in fact it turns my stomach whenever I think about how challenging that must have been. Kait had a rough ride getting there but managed to come out alive.



Her family celebrated her graduation by inviting friends and family over to her house for a little get together. Her and her father made speeches to the group and I couldn’t hold back the tears. I am just so proud of Kaitlyn and I’m glad I got to be a part of her journey.

I only have one picture for now but I will add more pictures as soon as she send them!

Thought for Kaits graduation:

“You have brains in your head,
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
Any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”
- Dr. Seuss – Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
