Linda, it is indeed an accomplishment. Many things could happen along the way that could derail a person, so it takes a lot of care and dedication to get there!!

Thanks Duke. That path should be strewn with goals, ambition, perseverance, and focus. As you say, so many things can happen...I have hope for those graduating this, and every, year. Life is short - embrace it! :)
