Saturday I had the opportunity to attend the College Graduation of my brother Derrick. He received his diploma for a Masters of Accountancy!! He has worked very hard over the past several years to accomplish this feat. He is a wonderful father to five great kids he worked two and sometimes three jobs to take care of his family and pay for school. He stayed up until 2 or 3 in the morning most nights studying for exams and completing assignments. This was not easy for him but he never really complained much he just did what he had to do. So Saturday as they called his name put his masters sash on and handed him his diploma I felt the tears welling up they were tears of pride for the hard work I knew it took for him to accomplish this. And for the great dad and person he his. I love you Derrick and am so very proud of You!!!! You will only have great things ahead of you.

Congratulations to Derrick! That's so neat he finished college. It inspires me to try and do the same once my kids don't need me as much. I'm very proud of him.
That is so awesome! When I see things like this it makes me realize that I need to kick it in gear and finish what I started. I guess it's never too late!
