Steven's Grad

On Saturday April 19, 2008 Steven participated in the graduation ceremonies for his Masters of Arts in Christian Studies. This video is from that day. When I saw him walk across that stage, I was so proud of him and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. He has worked so hard for so long and at that one moment, it became aware to me of just how much work it was to get here.

He has just one more course to complete this summer and then he is complete. I had to laugh a little bit when he took his grad essay to campus to hand it in. He had been working nonstop on his essay for many months and had spent many sleepless nights sitting at the computer before he finished it so he could hand it in on time. After he handed the finished project to the professor, he went to the school book store and bought the text books for the course that he is taking this summer. That evening, I caught him sleeping on the couch with the new textbook on his chest. He was so excited about his next class that he just HAD to start the text right away!
