On 12/19, he graduated from UNK with his bachelor's in Fine Arts and Humanities. He now has a degree in organizational communication. I know there is another part to that degree, but in true Sam fashion, I am unable to recall exactly what it is.
Steve is dedicated for sure. He started college many years ago. He has pursued it through all of our life together. Our life has had ups and downs and so his schooling has had ups and downs.
He's never given up. He had to re-take some classes, get extensions, switch degrees, take some time off. He never gave up. He just came back stronger and more determined to get it done.
I made him walk across the stage. He didn't really want to. I told him he needed to. His parents needed to see him do that, his kids needed to see him do that. He needed to do it so it felt real for him. I think he kind of wanted to do it but doesn't like us to make a big deal out of him.
So we sat (for a really long time) and we watched him walk across that stage and get his diploma. We cheered loudly for him. We hugged him. We took pictures. We had a celebration lunch. We made a big deal out of him.
Congrats, Steve!!! Job well done!
