Ashley's Big Day - Graduation from SJSU

 The College of Humanities and the Arts held their department graduation in Morris Dailey Auditorium on Thursday, May 26, at 3 p.m.  Aunt Kathy and Adam came with us - and several of Ashley's friends also came to the ceremony including Matt and Sarah.

There were some very emotional moments as the reality sunk in -- Ashley is graduating from college.

All of the dreams of the last 17years, all of the worries and fears and feelings of being overwhelmed, all of the obstacles that stood in the way, all of the challenges -- all conquered. She felt deeply grateful for all of the people who helped her along the way. After she received her certificate she went to the podium and thanked us for helping her earn her degree, and spontaneously she lifted both her arms and said, "I did it."  It was a great moment.
