School's Out... FOREVER!

Annie's last day of school. I'm sure I have one of her first day somewhere!

My oldest daughter just attended her last day of law school at UNC. Alice Cooper's classic song, school's out forever, rings in my head! I know I've been on the sidelines cheering her on but what a ride her academic career has been. In usual Annie fashion she has given everything and more to her time in Chapel Hill.  We are so deeply proud of her. (We would be anyway just because she is herself.)

This post is a total mother's tribute, so please indulge me! Annie has received several awards and accolades as a student starting from High School through her latest endeavor in law school. At the risk of embarrassing her, I will only name a few! At the University of Florida she was the overall chair of Dance Marathon (the largest student run philanthropy in the Southeast) helping to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for The Children's Miracle Network. She was also awarded UF's outstanding female leadership award and I watched in pure awe as she gave the commencement speech to thousands of graduates.

As she leaves UNC, she was the recipient of several awards, one of which is the Davis award. Another recognition of her gift of giving back to others through leadership. Congratulations does not convey how proud we are of you Annie!
