THIS IS MY NIECE'S GRADUATION PICTURE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. I CAN BARELY REMEMBER MINE. THINKING BACK OF A BRAND NEW WORLD, AND MY PLACE IN IT. SHE HAS MADE SOME DECISIONS AND NOW GOES TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN WHERE SHE STUDIES ENGINEERING AND LEADERSHIP. SHE ALSO WORKS FOR GENERAL MOTORS. I CAN REMEMBER THINKING OF WANTING TO BE A FIREFIGHTER OR LIKE MY DAD. MOST OF US AT LEAST CONSIDER FOLLOWING IN OUR PARENTS FOOTSTEPS, BUT SOMETIMES THEY ARE PRETTY BIG STEPS. KATIES DAD IS A PROJECT ENGINEER. I AM GLAD TO SEE HER VISION COME TO FRUITION. GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE. GRAB YOUR OPPORTUNITIES BY THE HORNS AND RIDE IT FOR ALL IT IS WORTH.
