On December 15th or 2007. Kellie Mary Smith graduated from the University of Houston, walking away with a BBA degree. I didn't really know how I was going to react that day or how I would feel besides the defaulted proud feeling one would have when a friend or close relative would accomplish such a task. That day I was inspired, looking down the stadium seeing a good 2 to 3 hundred individuals wearing the funny square hats and a smile that stretched from ear to ear. I began think of the hard work that Kellie put in this semester and then I multiplied that by the number of semesters it took her to get to this day. Then I took it a little further, I imagined the amount of work the whole graduating class had to put in. Thats a lot of hard work and sacrifice, I was inspired. During the end of the ceremony, as soon as the class of 2007 was introduced. I got up clapped as hard as I can and yelled for joy. Well deserved, Congratulations Kellie, I am proud and inspired by your accomplishment. Good luck and keep rocking, this is just the beginning.
These ladies are unstoppable. Kellie and her sisters, Kim (L) and misty (R).
