Congratulations Angelina!

I know she will hate this, but she won't stay pissed forever, and some things are too important to ignore.

Our very dear friend Angelina graduates from high school tomorrow, and we could not be prouder!

The families and friends of each and every graduate of every high school, college, university and trade school in British Columbia have reason to celebrate the accomplishments of their loved ones. Those of us who love Angelina know that this diploma did not come easily to her, she has faced more than her share of obstacles, and has had to overcome barriers and hurdles that might have destroyed others her age. The path may have been rocky, but she did what she had to do, always keeping her eyes on the prize. Well, Babe, you did it! Good on you.

Angelina is going to succeed, regardless of what she chooses to do with her life. This young woman is a survivor, made of strong stuff, and she should dream big. I have no doubt whatsoever that she can be anything, do anything she wants to. Getting this diploma is just the beginning of her journey. From now on, she is the master of her own destiny, and as a smart, strong, and capable young woman, there is nothing that can stop her.

Congratulations Angelina, we are very proud!
