When she was accepted into the nursing program before her junior year, the advisor told her she would have to choose: nursing or basketball--it was not possible to do both. Since the basketball scholarship was what made it possible for her to attend this private college, and she was determined to become a nurse, she was not deterred. Maybe everyone could use a slice of her optimism. Her basketball team made it to the second round of the NAIA national finals, she finished her nursing degree, and--in addition--she got married midyear when she found 4 free days.
She is a terrific girl and we are nearly as proud of her as her parents are.

Congratulations to your niece! We need good nurses, just as we need good teachers.
And your new camera...I have a nice digital, but I'd like something that is less bulky. Your camera looks like what I have in mind. Keep us posted on how you like it, please.
ambitious young lady. good for her.
Congratulations to all of you! What a proud time this is. She is truly an amazing young woman and will make a fabulous nurse.
Aunt Jo, this was so sweet of you to say. I really appreciate all of your support. I could not have done it without you and Randy. I will never be able to say thank you enough!
She sounds unstopable! I offer my congrats to her ... and to you. She sounds like the type of gal we should find a way to clone. I need three of her for my sons.
I hope now that she's graduated she can take some more honeymoon time with her hubby. Four days? That's cramming too much excitement and too many emotions into too short a period of time.
What an inspirational occasion! We need more people like your niece.
