Graduation

On Monday and Tuesday of last week Nick was able to take and pass his final exams making him an official Registered Respiratory Therapist! Then on Friday Nick had his official graduation ceremony.  I was so proud of him as he walked up on stage multiple times to accept all of his awards and honors.  Let me tell you, he earned every single one of them too.  I'm amazed at the dedication and determination I have seen from him since the start of his program.   He even received an unexpected award for Clinical Excellence for his desire to learn and professionalism in the clinical setting!  Here are some pictures from that awesome day:

Nick's friend Chad also came but wasn't able to stay the whole time.  I was so glad that he made the effort to show his support even if he had to leave early.  We are so grateful to everyone who made this special day possible.  

The job hunt is now officially on!
