Do they get any choice at all in the posting process? If so best have her choose something out of province so none of yer friends get it! At least don't send her north!!
I can believe it feels satisfying to know you raised a child to do well and now you get to see her success.
Congratulations!

She knows some christian members and will be able to talk to him for the things that she cant discuss with anyone else. His wife told her to call her for the things she can.

We're in a similar area with 3 nearby reservations. 1 in particular provides for a lot of high speed traffic with flashing lights. The other 2 are quieter. Anyway, glad to hear she'll be in good hands.
We've been invited to powwows and such but most of my native friends tell me to stay away. Too much violence. Too bad, cause they do have some good traditions.

Congrats to all the graduates and their families! My son will be graduating this evening in the stadium, weather permitting. He has been accepted to Drexel and I couldn't be more proud. Hard to believe the day is here. He has been focused about what he wants to do from a pretty young age. His major will be electrical engineering, which I hope meets with his expectations. Very proud of his accomplishments and excited for his future.

Good for him.  Any of the engineering fields are good and help teach problem solving and logical thinking.

That's because you don't graduate until this life is over... In the meantime you are just held back for another year of lessons.

Strong women run in your family it appears.  In this case I believe it is the strong will and determined spirit!

I am at the University of Florida's College of Ag and Life Sciences graduation ceremony. 3/4 of the forestry team that won the national FFA forestry contest in 2014 graduated here tonight. Two earned forestry degrees and the other an ag communications degree. They will all begin their masters programs next month.

Wow, good work all.
I didn't even attend my own college graduation, I was working that day, they mailed my diploma to my house.
However, I have attended the graduations of all my kids and grandkids, both HS and College. Last month I missed one, but it was restricted to his parents and sister. He graduated from Naval basic, and is now in another school, before he is sent to California for 6 months Seal Training. So far several have been "weeded" out but he is still gung ho. His graduation was streamed live on TV, but during the whole ceremony we could not figure which one he was. There were like 800 and they all looked the same.

I attended another high school graduation last night, kind of hard to believe it has been a year since I started this.

The graduation was at Commerce High School in Commerce, OK the town where the church I pastor is located. It was a good ceremony, not too long. Nice temp controlled gymnasium was comfortable even with a full house. There was a glitch in the sound system, their music player to be exact and it would not play the national anthem and as it was cutting out, the pastor of FBC in Commerce and I picked it up and all joined in to finish Star Spangled Banner. That was real neat and the whole crowd together sounded much better than a recording.

It was kind of bittersweet for me as there were many of the graduates that attend my church that have plans to move away for school or work. 

Congratulations to all the graduates of 2018.

We attended another graduation ceremony today at the University of Florida.  Our daughter, Shelby, who graduated high school two summers ago graduated with her bachelor's degree today.  The forestry team pictured earlier in this post also had some graduates today.  The three boys all were awarded their master's degrees today.  Lexi, the girl in the forestry team picture, graduated from UF last spring and will begin teaching agriculture on Monday at a middle school in our county.  There were about 2500 from four different UF colleges who were awarded diplomas today.

Doc, she has been on a mission since she graduated high school.  She moved back home from Gainesville at Christmas break and took most of her classes on line.  She did have to drive 240 miles round trip one day a week last semester for a class but she has been invaluable to our family since my oldest daughter had her son last December and my dad had a debilitating stroke in February.  Shelby has stepped up to the plate, so to speak.  She watches my grandson four days a week, helps my mother with my Daddy.  She has some options and I told her there is no hurry.  She has gone to school every year since she was five.

I have encouraged her to apply to be a substitute teacher.  Our department can give her some work.  I have discouraged her from teaching as a career due to the job expectations and the pay but it would not be a bad gig for a few years.

My youngest starts high school tomorrow morning.  She has me for first and third periods (poor kid). 

They all got the pretty from their mother.  They probably got their hard heads and pleasant dispositions from me.  

Anyway, I am proud of them and the effort that they put in.
