It's Official

Kat's Biology degree finally arrived in the mail:

I think actually seeing the degree has finally made it real for me. My kid is a scientist, and a lot of hard work and sacrifice made that happen.

Katherine did 99% over the last four years; three spent on her own in a strange city where she knew no one. She had to grow up fast, take care of herself and study her ass off.

Her Dad and I helped by making sure that she never had to worry about the financial side of it. We were able to pay for all her expenses without loans (and she earned back nearly all of her tuition cost by keeping up an amazing GPA.) That she's the first person in either family to graduate college is simply a bonus.

Congratulations, Ms. Viehl. :)
