Success is a journey not a destination." - Anonymous
Doreen's high school graduation was May 18, 2011. The ceremony started with the church service at the Basilica of Saint Adalbert -Grand Rapids, Michigan. The church service was celebrated with Most Reverend Walter Hurley Bishop of the Diocese of Grand Rapids;
After the church ceremony, all the graduates moved to the school gymnasium for the commencement. Doreen was so excited and we as her Family were so happy for her big achievements.
Why you may ask? Well we have a dozen of reasons:
· She is the first member of our family to graduate from an American high school!!!! This is awesome.
· She will be attending Purdue University-starting August 2011.
· She plans to study Aeronautical Engineering.
· We have already started hear college slang: "Freshman 15," "Boiler maker," "Classes 101" and “Residents Halls." Wow! Our only daughter is an official college student.
· This will be my favorite line "MTOTO/BINTI YANGU YUKO CHUO KIKUU."
It was just yesterday when she was crawling with her stomach! We are so happy because we have tried to “Train Doreen in the way she should go; even when she is old she will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

Can you believe that she is a graduate??? Wow it is true that "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt
Congratulation Doreen we as family, we so proud of you. As Psalm 71:5 says For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; you are my trust from my youth.
Doreen you are a luck girl as Mark 9:23 says "Everything is possible for him who believes; and "If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all...how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" Romans 8:31-32 therefore as Jeremiah 29:11 said "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Behind every successful, there is a surprised woman.
