Snowflake Challenge #15

Talk about an unexpected joyous moment you experienced last year.

Going to The Daughter's graduation from Birmingham City University at Birmingham Symphony Hall.

Which might sound like a normal experience, but:
Instead of taking A-levels (the academic post-16 route in England), she went to college and gained a BTEC National Diploma in Outdoor Activities (with 3 distinctions)
She then trained as a paediatric nurse, getting a 2:2 degree from Coventry University
Then, eleven years later, having changed career and taking a block release degree, so working as an Ambulance Technician/Student Paramedic at the same time, she gained a First Class degree in Paramedic Science.

Hence the joy!

This is coming late, but congratulations to your daughter! She's obviously worked hard, so I can understand both the joy and pride you take in her accomplishments! :-D
