I completed my coursework June 15th, my degree was conferred June 30th and now I have my diploma to prove it! I worked on this through getting married, through a difficult multiples pregnancy, through having twin newborns, going back to work and working an internship (unpaid) at the same time. So very proud of myself AND I am equally proud to show my girls that they can do anything they want to do in this life.

Caelyn and Kira,

I did this for my community and for those I’ve met and been able to support so far, but I did this for you too. I want you to see that women can be anything we want to be. We can be mothers, we can have careers, we can be educated and we can make a difference in the world around us. I love you both so much and I love you enough to want to be an active part in improving the world you will grow up in on a larger scale. I want you to see love and compassion in our home, and with how we interact and view other people. I am so excited to have the tools to show this to you as you grow and this is just the beginning.

Love,

Momma
