Thank you.

You're welcome.

Congratulations.

So I'm graduating this school, and so is my mother.

What?

But suddenly my mother is graduating.

We're like, what?

What was more impressive than any of us getting a college degree was the fact that my mother 12 years later.

Class by class, once a week for 12 years through the summers.

Jesus.

Somehow out of enough credits, the bitch was graduating.

We couldn't, like, but she never spoke of it.

She never anything.

It was just something that we, I think, soaked up.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Hard work, perseverance, betterment.

Also, in terms of, obviously, my mother, you know, now we give anyone, they have a kid and three nannies, and we call them a stay-at-home mom.

But my mother, having the 10 kids cooking every day, doing nine loads of laundry a day, all of it, you know.

Through that, another benefit was my mother was always home.

Like, you know, when these like actually there was some stability, even though we had a really unstable life, like looking back, I got to move from, you know, there's a lot.
