''I walked across the stage today with the main priority in my hand.
Dear Kyla, I dedicate this to you. It seems as though u wanted me to delay so that you could be a part of the celebration. The first-trimester sickness made me pause for a bit. But mommy kept the fire burning. Masters in childhood education/ bilingual extension. Summa [cam] Laude!''
