A Master's Degree

After all she has endured in her young life, after all her hard work, my Sandie walked the stage at Emerson College on Monday, May 18, 2009, and received her Master's Degree in Broadcast Journalism, with a nearly perfect GPA.

A week later, she received a fellowship to Japan, to further her interest in foreign affairs. She will meet Japanese politicians, senior bureaucrats, business leaders, US foreign correspondents and Japanese journalists during a ten-day trip later this year.

Ah the sweet gifts of a loving God. What a proud parent I am.

What an accomplishment. Congrats, Sandie! That is an amazing amount of education in a very small amount of time. Hope you enjoy Japan!

You have EVERY reason to be proud of her. She has accomplished SO much!

Congratulations, Sandie!

And, congratulations to you and John, too. Your support for her was unwavering and I bet she'd say she couldn't have done it without you!!

Love you.
