After 13 years of under-undergrad and 5 long years of undergrad (that's 18 years!), Stephanie Dawn Boizelle can officially take her place among the ranks of diploma'd people! Hurray! It was a long time coming, but now that it's over, I can say that it was worth it. I learned a great deal in school (both before and during college), but the most important thing I learned is that most learning originates in the home. My parents were the ones who taught me to love learning. They were also the ones who taught (by example) how important school is. Many were the nights they stayed up late helping me finish projects or break through mental barriers (that's for you, Dad!). I doubt I would have made it so far if I hadn't learned solid principles like discipline and hard work before I ever stepped one foot into an institution of learning. So I would like to say thanks to my parents. This diploma is just as much their's as mine. We worked hard for it. And the fake gold leaf is so shiny... ;) Thanks mom and dad!

Hurray!
Steph,
I liked what said about the support you received at home that enabled you to love learning and earn a college degree. I can see both you and Jon making educational achievement an important part of your family culture.
