As I pressed the enter button on the computer for my last graduate school assignment, Casey said to me “that must be so relieving”.  He hit the nail on the head with that comment. It could not be more true. Two years, 125 practicum hours, and a 120 page portfolio finally finished.  YES, I would say that is Relieving!

Brian also just finished graduate school.  That kid has been going to school since he started preschool at 3 years old. He’s a great example to his two children. I am sure he felt “relieving” too.
