Homework

With her mortarboard firmly on her head, Tammy took her place in the
graduation procession, which was held on May 12, 2009. She told her
mother, Louisa, that she wanted to be the first in the family to get a
college degree, which would also help her get a good job. In her mind,

degree later, but eventually everyone in the United States would need a
college degree. When the chance came for her to go to college and pay
for most of it herself, she decided it was a chance she could not afford to
pass up. Each course she took in her ambitious undergraduate curriculum
was another triumph for her. Another 15 weeks of reading, staying up late
at night, writing, studying, and sitting at uncomfortable desks never
scared Tammy. As she marched off the stage, Tammy clutched the
diploma in one hand and hurled her mortarboard into the crowd with the
other. She yelled, “Yes! I made it!” When she got through the crowd and
reached her family, she screamed, "Mom, I did it!”.
