Dear Julia - I'm so proud that you are graduating from UCSC. Surprised? No, because setting goals for yourself and doggedly working toward them is what you do. Obstacles, while frustrating, have never deterred you, instead you find ways to break them down, or move around them. "She believed she could so she did." Keep believing, keep doing. Love, Mom
