Brandon's Master's Graduation

Over 3 years ago we moved to Southern California so Brandon could continue his education. He was accepted to California Baptist University in the Educational and Clinical Masters Psychology Program, which is in of the College of Education.

Brandon always worked full time in a high pressure/stressful environment while going to school. He also managed to fit in field work internship hours, each semester throughout the course of the program. Brandon excelled at the TOP of his class throughout the entire program and was admired and looked up to by all his professors and classmates.
Where's Waldo (aka Brandon)

On Friday evening, May 6th, 2011, Brandon graduated and received his diploma! He is the ONLY student in the history of that program to graduate a semester early and to have passed the State and National Board exams. I couldn't be more proud of him.

For both of us it has been a VERY hard and stressful 3 years which I am glad is now behind us. Here are the pictures from the exciting evening and weekend. (You know me, I don't just celebrate one day, it was the whole weekend!)

This is the President of the University handing Brandon his Diploma.

This happens to be the WORST & I mean WORST school song of ALL time. Seriously I could have come up with something better in 10 minutes. It doesn't even make sense and the music they put the lyrics to are HORRIBLE. I had to get a picture so I can get a chuckle each time I read the embarrassing words.

"IT'S A MAJOR AWARD & I'VE WON IT"
Brandon was called up on stage and given an award for the entire college of education. The amazing thing was NONE of us knew it until we saw the program at the graduation. What a AWESOME surprise. Check out the video so you can see Brandon accept his major award!
