It has taken me about 7 years to finally get to this point and is the best Christmas present I could give myself this year. To be honest, a couple of years ago, I never thought I would finish. But the idea of going back was always looming over my head and deep down, I really wanted that little piece of paper.
It is such a relief to be done with school. In the scheme of things, it's probably not that big of a deal, but for me it is. I can now proudly support my future children and say that I worked hard to get my degree and that they should also.
I want my parents to know how thankful I am for supporting me financially through school. I know that not all students are as fortunate and it has been such a blessing. I also want to thank Erik. He never pushed me to go back to school but was always a silent supporter of whatever I decided to do. I know, Erik...silent?
The second best thing about this moment is that I don't have to go find a 9 to 5 job now that school is over. Erik has worked so hard over the years and I now have the opportunity to do something I love; photography.
So, cheers to me. You did it Tanya!

Oh my gosh...when I read the heading my heart skipped a beat. You did fool me...just a little. Congrats on finishing. I bet it feels sooo good to be done. We miss you guys and we will hopefully be there in a couple months to celebrate!
CONGRATULATIONS! We are so proud of you! We wish we could give you a big hug.
If you need a subject to practice your photography, let me know. I owe you guys for all of those humiliating hours that Erik stood cold and motionless for me in my art class.

Yea! congrats! I know the feeling, way to hang in there!
Continue reaching for your dreams -discarding your books is symbolic of graduating but certainly not of discontinuing your quest for knowledge and wisdom. Congratulations from Mom and Dad Olafsson.
Congrats!! That is so great... it is such a great feeling to have that diploma up on the wall... be proud of your accomplishments.
