The weather was beautiful for Julia's pinning ceremony. I was feeling so emotional just thinking about how hard she has worked these past four years...and that she is going to be a nurse...for real! What an incredible achievement!
Walking into the ceremony...
Her proud Aunties were there to support her...
and us of course...
Haley made the trip too...
CeCe and Julia...
The next day was graduation...
Julia and her roommate for all four years...
Showing off her dance team gold medal and championship ring achievement too...
Nicholas and Haley were there too by the way...and so were Nana and Papa...
Julia is an accomplished college athlete winning 6 UDA National medals including a GOLD medal. She won Rookie of the Year her freshman year. In her senior year, she was Captain of the dance team, named Athlete of the Year by her coaches, and one of three nominees selected by the college for Female Club Athlete of the Year out of all the female athletic clubs at Endicott! Wow!!!
All that along with studying full time to be a nurse! How amazing is that!!
SHE DID IT!!
sacrifice and a heart full of compassion.
Your story has just begun,
and the world is already a better place because of you.
Wishing you a future filled with fulfillment,
success and countless lives healed.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
We love you and are so incredibly proud! We can't wait to see what your next chapter holds for you!
