Magna Cum Laude.

Out of her cap and gown... and looking toward the world of work!




"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

"The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth."

Congratulations, both of you! I spy a Phillips 66 logo on the bump cap. Going into petrochemical work?

The boots are a nice touch!

Yep.
Phillips 66 has been integral to her education. She was a Phillips scholar. She worked as an intern for Phillips 66 last summer at the Wood River, IL refinery. She toured Phillips 66 Rodeo, CA refinery last spring.
She will work full-time as a mechanical engineer at the Phillips 66 refinery in Ponca City, OK.

That is outstanding. Definitely a motivated young lady. Best wishes to her and thank you for raising her right.

Congratulations, I know it's an exciting time. Our daughter graduated a few years ago and is a doctor now. Our son got his degree a few months ago, but is going to walk in the graduation ceremony in a few days just to please Mom and Dad. Especially MOMWink

Congratulations. Sounds like she's got a great career ahead of her even.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Mazel to! You surely should be proud.




"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989
