Congratulations to Cathy Kinneman 3.98 GPA
Huge congratulations to my much younger cousin Cathy Kinneman for juggling multiple roles at work, at home and going to school and pulling down a 3.98 GPA at the College of Saint Scholastica!
For those of you who were fortunate enough to go to school and not have to worry about running a home, going to work AND going to school, it is hard to appreciate the discipline needed to be successful. Time management, motivation and staying focused are the keys to success. Easy to say -- very, very hard to do. Cathy is obviously an expert in these areas.
Cathy graduates spring 2012.
Thank you David. It's not easy, but it is rewarding. I only wish I would have gone to college when I was younger, but you're never too young to make your dreams come true or to learn new things.
ReplyDeleteYou know the last conversation I shared with my sister Patty was about going back to school. So, I'm doing this for her as well.
Thanks again for all of the encouraging words. Especially the "much younger" part!!
I know Patty would be very proud of you Cathy.
