Two weeks ago on the Monday after Mother's Day, the last born of my parent's household graduated from college! It was a very exciting time as all the siblings were present to celebrate this epic moment in our family.
Annette graduated from Emory University in Georgia with a major in Political Science and a minor in Economics. Allow me to add that she graduated with high honors!! Annie I know you're going to read this so here's to you...
I am so proud of you and I really mean it when I say that. You've always been a very focused and pretty determined young lady. You know exactly what you want and you go for it. When you were in high school, I always made fun of you because your book bag was heavy with so many books. I would even get mad when the light in your room was still on at 3AM. You studied so much, one would have though you were already working on your Doctorate degree. And it paid off... I will never forget the day we were home and you received the letter about getting the Bill Gates Scholarship. I was so happy for you because I knew it was very competitive and a tedious process. You got to college and with all the distractions today, you didn't let any of that get in your way. You worked, you tutored, you were part of organizations and committees and still some how had to time to study and ace all your classes graduating yet again with high honors!! Upon all of this, somehow you manage to remain current with high fashion, TV shows, and music artist that I've never even heard of! Oh! And you blow my mind with all the hoodrat rappers and their songs you keep up with! How do you do it?! LOL. Annie you've thought me a few lessons in life that you may be unaware of but I thank you for it. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you the best because you deserve it. I hope you have the best of times this summer with your internship in New York and there is no doubt in my mind that you will graduate at the top of your class at NYU. God's Grace will keep you, like Esther, His favor will surround you. He will grant you strength you need and wisdom beyond your years. He will take you to places you didn't even have the capacity of dreaming to go. His hands will forever be upon you and you will forever dwell in His secret place. You rock boo boo!!
