Last week my baby bro graduated college! He worked so hard!! He was nominated to be Student of the Year, was chosen to carry in the Biology banner, graduated Magna Cum Laude(even though the day after graduation he got the rest of his grades and ended up really graduating Summa Cum Laude- which is better, he had a 3.9+ GPA), and should have been named the Valedictorian of the Biology department, but hey, at least he didn't have to give a speech!
I didn't think I would get all emotional watching him graduate, but I totally did. I was so glad I was able to proofread and edit alllll of his papers so that he could get such good grades :) We are all so proud of him!
Oh and just so you know how loved he was-after the graduation ceremony one of his professors came up to him and said she had a friend doing research in the Florida Keys this summer catching snakes. She told him about my brother and offered him this paid research gig....he was so bummed because he is getting ready for the MCAT, and has already paid lots of $$$, so he can't go. Hopefully he can do something like that next summer. Can you imagine getting paid to catch snakes in the Keys!?!?!
Even though he makes me crazy sometimes, he is still my baby brother and I love him lots! Way to go Eric!!!

Congrats, Eric! We know he's worked so hard in school and we're glad to hear it's paying off.
I know what you mean about editing papers, though! Mark wouldn't have made it through school without my writing skills, haha.
WHOA, that's ERIC?! He is so grown up, and taking MCATs? haha - so impressive. Where does he live? Tessa's in SLC doing an internship at The Grand America. :P I'm trying to play Yenta... oh goodness...
