WORDLESS WEDNESDAY - My Graduation Days...

Photographs taken on my various Graduation Days in Vancouver BC:  from a simple Grade 6 ceremony and banquet at Renfrew Elementary School, more formal Grade 12 from Vancouver Technical Secondary School (Academic) where I was the Valedictorian;  then to University of BC at Vancouver BC where I first received a BScN in 1966, then a MA (CnslgPsy) in 1987 after separation/divorce.



1955  Grade 6  Graduation Day - taken at north side of our home






1961  Grade 12 Graduation Day - cap and all











1966  Bachelor of Science in Nursing













1987  Masters of Arts (Counselling Psychology)

    Those are great -- and you've given me an idea! I'm glad you are sharing YOUR history -- that's what your family will really appreciate!

      Thanks Kathy - that was my idea! That my family might enjoy these photos. Stories come later, but this is a start. I might do a few more of my own bits. Appreciate your comments.

      I was SOOOOOO glad to be finished! I had "too many" science credits at University so to get an MA I had to take some 3rd and 4th year Arts courses first, which dragged the process out rather long! That Graduation Day was fabulous - sunny day, I had a good-paying job already, my friends and family were there, and I was so relieved to be at the other end of that tunnel! Thanks for dropping by, Jill.

    Your looking good Celia, and younger in the last photo. I just noticed that of all your hobbies and interests, Genealogy is the only thing in All Caps!

      "Snort!" You're right - it's become my No.1 passion. Well, right behind family and friends. I also have been writing for most of my life (non-creative), and have recently taken several courses on creative writing which is another new challenge. And my garden keeps me sane as I watch the growth of wonderful veggies and a few herbs... pick a strawberry in the morning, listen to birds. Thanks for commenting, Barbara!

    Lovely early photos, Celia -- I never realized before just how much Pia looks like you when you were younger!

    And I agree with your friend above; your own descendants will likely want to read about YOU and your times, one of these days/years.

    Hug,
