Text Box: THANK YOU TO BOTH PARENTS

Today is very special for me
I am celebrating finally obtaining my first degree
Finally because it has been a long and hard journey
That would not have been done without my parents behind me
My dad for assisting me when I did not have enough money
And my mother for making my journey not so rough
Whenever I need her she is always there
Helping with my children which is nothing rare
She gives of herself in such an extraordinary way
Both of my parents have contributed to my education
And that is why I want to show my appreciation 
With this certification of appreciation 
THANK YOU very much for all that you do
