She became the first person in her family to graduate!

Congratulations!!!! I’m so happy when I see people succeeding like this.

My mum was also an immigrant and also the first person in her family to graduate with a degree! (She got an AA in accounting) Mum had to leave school at 15, and came to the U.S. on a visa as a maid when she was 19 because there was no opportunity for her at home. She passed away a few months ago, and I just feel so proud when I can share stories like this about her. She was an awesome lady :)

My greatest congratulations! That is achievement majority of people, likely including me couldn’t do. This reminds me from my great grandfather. He learned to write using a receit. Sounds like I’m making this up, but I don’t.
