Kimberly Jane Ellis Graduation at Bath Spa University on 24th July 2010Congratulations, Kimberly. Yesterday I was honored to attend the ceremony at Bath Spa University, where my daughter Kimberly was awarded an honours degree - a Bachelor of Arts, upper 2nd, in Educational Studies: Early Years. This after a number of years of hard work while holding down a full time job too which she held through her course and still holds. I'm very very proud of her.

As ever at such events, we listened to speeches about the university, and of encouragement to the new graduates to go out there even though it's hard and seek jobs. Ah - but Kimberly is rather ahead of the game there (but not resting on her laurels, I know - she's already doing her postgraduate EYP ...).

One of the speakers suggested that the graduates turn and that their families and supporters at the rear of the hall for all their support through their courses. Actually - I'm rather humbled on that one. The motivation was Kimberly's. the hard work was hers, and the planning of the finances of how to do it was hers too. Kimberly - you deserve double congratulations for not only getting that degree, but also for your single minded drive to getting there - Love, Dad.
