One proud sister!

   I am so proud of my little brother. On Thursday, Rusty graduated from college! It has been a long and tedious road, but he did not give up! Rusty graduated Cum Laude, with a degree in Business Administration, majoring in Infrastructure Assurance and Information Systems. He's one of those computer genius people. It took Rusty a little longer than maybe your average college student, but he worked the entire time he was in school, often juggling two jobs and school. He also supported himself, living on his own while he was in school and volunteered his time as a firefighter.
 
  It also took me longer than your typical four years to finish college, but for the past several years I've offered Rusty the same advice that I always told myself, over and over again. It doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as you keep going. Education is something that no one can ever take away from you. They can take away the degree you hang on your wall, but they can't remove the knowledge that you hold within you.
 
  Rusty has already begun a job in his career field that he's really enjoying. We are all so proud of him for his accomplishments and know that his future looks very bright!
