Title: Mums are allowed to brag!
Post by: caroline7758 on June 30, 2010, 18:32:01
My daughter Becky found out today that she got a "first" in her psychology degree from Sheffield University. I can't help wanting to tell everyone! :D

Are there any more proud parents of new graduates out there?

Congratulations to Becky!  :)

I'm a proud mum, too - my son Charlie has got a first in his Maths degree. We're headed to Durham tomorrow for the graduation ceremony.  :) :) :)

Twin brother Owen's results won't be known for a couple of weeks...in the meantime, he has strict instructions to water anything and everything in a pot, till we get back to Hampshire on Friday evening.  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for sharing our happiness, everyone. The degree ceremony for Charlie was in Durham yesterday and it was wonderful - very much a rite of passage, with just enough pomp and plenty of pride and pleasure. It was quite moving to see Charlie shake the Chancellor's hand and to see all the new graduates process out afterwards.  :) :) :)

Oh, and the Chancellor happens to be one of my favourite writers, Bill Bryson.   ;D ;D ;D

A day to remember always....
