A VERY PROUD MUM AND DAD
As some of you know my daughter has had a tough time with health issues since her senior school days and schooling was very difficult for her as she had much time off and ended up leaving her secondary school when she was 13 as the head told us she was a no hoper.
Whilst she had the plaster off earlier this week after her surgery on her ankle 7 weeks ago she is still on crutches and was in a great deal of pain.
Well yesterday she graduated from Essex University with a Batchelor of Science Honours degree in Animal Science Companion and Zoo Animals.
My husband and I was very emotional when the she was presented with her certificate by Professor Jules Pretty, Pro Vice Chancelor of University of Essex and Sally Gunnell OBE. She went up on the stage on crutches and Sally Gunnell was so nice with her I cried. Jules Pretty said to us after they were considering coming down to her but she insisted that she wanted to go on the stage the same as everyone else. When she went up on stage the clap was so loud because she was on crutches I was crying. My camera jammed just at that most important moment. Thank goodness one of the fathers of one of her uni friends snapped her getting her award and is sending me the pictures on a disc.
It was a most fantastic day and I will try and post up some pictures when I get a chance.
There were so many receiving their awards and it was very rewarding to see such a lot of young pople having gained their Masters as well in their given field.
As soon as she is better and has fully recovered she will have to look for work.
It was a very special day for us and one I won't forget in a hurry.
