Graduation: Maddie

Well she made it!  Maddie graduated! connie blog headers-p0071

This is the card I made for her graduation. That is Maddie and Chance on that rock.

Maddie Grad 1

She has decided that she wants to become a Veterinary Technician.  She loves animals and has a special rapport with them.  It is a career that will fit her well.

She is the graduate on the far right.

323 kids graduating

There were 323 kids graduating.

It took awhile, all those speakers who like to hear themselves talk….I am certain only a few of those graduating will remember anything…they just want it to be over!  And the band, then the orchestra then the choir…it was a bit much. Just hand over the diplomas already!

Getting the diploma

Here she is getting her diploma.

Congratulations on graduating Maddie, I knew you could do it! We are very proud of you!

Congrats to Maddie! Our daughter-in-law graduated as a Veterinary Technician, but she went back to school in her early 30's.

What a sweet card. Congrats to Maddie!!
I couldn't even remember any of the speeches from my graduation right afterwards--LOL! I agree--they could shorten everything up considerably.

Oops! Our Maddie graduates June 17th. We plan to be there (Yorktown, Va.) if nothing happens, and I will probably cry.

Congratulations sweet young lady, you'll make a wonderful veterinary tech. I spent close to thirty five years in the field, and it's a rewarding career choice.

That is a large class!
We were invited to my nephew's daughter's graduation party today but we decided not to go. It's an hour and a half drive, and I decided that attending all of my niece's and nephew's graduations was enough. I will now just wait for my own grandchildren in this next generation.

Congratulations to Maddie! Yes, those speakers can get carried away with themselves, but really...some pomp and circumstance is in order. It is, after all, an accomplishment worthy of taking some time to recognize.

Intense Guy said...

Beautiful young woman - both inside and out.

Paula said...

What a beautiful girl! And from a HUGE class. That would have been a struggle to sit through for sure!!

How sweet! She is a beautiful young lady and she will love her career. My youngest granddaughter wants to be a vet and I pray that she will have the opportunity to do just that. Her mother also wanted to be a vet, but she ended up as a nurse. Now she wishes she had gone on to vet school. Aren't those speakers silly? Thinking anyone wants to listen to them drone on and on. Short and sweet- that's how I like it. But no one listens to me! LOL!

Congratulations graduate. The card is neat to sum up her years to graduation. I am sure Chance loves all of the grands. I can't believe the size of the class.

Leah said...

oh my all grown up ~ remember when the girls were here riding Jack. Best wishes to you Maddie and best of luck in the animal world! Keep on smiling!

What a beautiful girl! I wanted to be a vet growing up but it wasn't meant to be. Good luck to her in her career. I'm sure she'll love it...I would!
