Holding his diploma, an Associates degree in Math with uncle Kevin. Daniel and Jewel had a blast.
Dakota with his Physics professor Dr. Montana and the vice president of MCC
Grandma Mable flew in from South Carolina to attend. Patricia remembers pacing up and down this corridor chasing little Jewel a couple of years ago as we waited for class to end.
Dakota sporting a brand new haircut. We had it cut several days before graduation when he finally realized his cap wouldn't be able to fit over his afro!
Of the 1071 graduates, only 12 had an AS degree in Mathematics. Pictured are Dakota with two other Math majors who were both in his Differential Equations class. They were just on the podium receiving their degrees.

GRATITUDE THOUGHTS....so many of them as I realize how fast the years go by.
Beginning classes at MCC (10 turning 11) he was 5'3", had a high voice, and loved to learn. Grateful that he grew so much, and so quickly that he blended in class with the other students. Grateful for really great professors in both Science and Math courses. Grateful for the kind support and encouragement that helped sustain me, when things got tough. Grateful for Daniel and Jewel's patience with the hundreds of car trips needed to get him to school and back.
grateful that gasoline was much cheaper.
