I have to fuggin ssoooooo do this! I need to not just congratulate her but I have to kiss my sister's feet for doing this!
She's just shown me....no, the world, that when there's a will, there's a bloody yellow brick road for everything. I mean, how many people can graduate from a degree....diploma....whatever it is but it was tough (I've seen the ENCYCLOPEDIAS that she had to read - it had to be PhD or something) doing it part-time.
At thirty-something, she has to work, study, come home and sweep hair from the floor, sometimes cook (not very much, though), and on weekends she runs the hills....all those torturous stuff to do and still have the mind to study.
I sit on my ass the whole day and complain that I am tired. When I was college, I sang, danced, partied and dated my way to a law degree.
I should be ashamed of myself.
In order to survive such a feat, there's only one ingredient in the cauldron....pure grit and determination. Well, two ingredients, then. Yeah, you KNOW you have to do it and you set your mind to it, no matter what is thrown your way. And she did it!
So, to my younger sister who has always been sitting on the lower rung of the ladder just because I managed to rely on luck and the ability to bullshit to get my law degree, come sit with me on top. The view is really much better over here.
Now let's wait for the other one to come enjoy the view.
