Esther Graduates and Receives her Bachelor’s Degree

graduation_esther_at_service After several years of persistence, hard work, and sacrifice my wife Esther has realized a dream. She received her Bachelor of Science for Business Administration. She pursued this for several reasons. One of which was to gain the additional knowledge needed for her current position as business manager for Hamer Toyota.

graduation_friends_at_service When she first decided to discuss going back to school with me I knew it was going to be a difficult road considering she already had a full time job, 2 young children and I commuted far for my job as well. But she built a strong case citing that part of her motivation was wanting to set an example for our children to understand the importance of getting a higher education.

Although the road was difficult she worked very hard and has now reached her goal. I await what new challenge she wants to face and overcome. She is amazing and I’m proud to be married to her.

    Dear Esther,

    I want to tell you how proud I am of you for reaching your educational milestone; you are a true inspiration for those who say it cannot be done. Most people see obstacles and make excuses for not pursuing their dreams, and I congratulate you for having the courage, strength, and commitment to realize yours.

    I want to also praise you for having the wisdom and vision to know that one day the time will come when your kids will look to you for examples of what is expected of them. With your actions, you have provided an example to them that is invaluable to their personal development…you have paved the road for them to understand the tremendous sacrifice required to realize their own dreams.

    Be thankful of the sacrifices made by Mark, and the kids, for without them this might not have been possible…

    Love you Cuz,

    We are sooo happy for you. You have alot to be proud of and we are so PROUD of you. How you are able to be the BIG BOSS at Hamer, handle THREE children and get a degree is beyond me. You are truly an inspiration to all of us who say it can’t be done. Through it all you have been able to be your sweet self and remain SANE (ok, well at least sometimes).

    We love you. BESOS! The Kutrosky’s
