On Saturday 5-10-08, Deb and I attended Kaitlyn Sierra Wong's graduation ceremonies from Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, CA. She surprised us with her Summa Cum Laude honors and on another page in the program earned "Outstsnding Undergraduate Academic Excellence" in Communication (highest overall GPA). She had never been the greatest student in elementary or high school but I suppose since she is paying for her own education she took it very seriously.
This was a really big outdoor production. They had erected a giant canopy for the stage with Frank Sinatra playing through the huge speakers. People scrambled to hold seats for relatives and I felt like we were getting ready for a rock concert. After many honored speakers that spoke of helping to preserve the earth and making money, we finally witnessed Kaitlyn receiving the sheep skin. I did my best to try for a photo of my daughter from about a 80 yards away:
This blog is in honor of Kaitlyn Sierra Wong for this major landmark in her life. So now daughter, it's your turn to try to save the earth and make lots of money!
