To say I'm proud of my dad would be a serious understatement.
After serving more than 20 years in the United States Air Force and continuing his career as a civilian employee supporting the Air Force, he decided to take on a new challenge: earning his Bachelor's Degree in Cyber Security from Bellevue University.
Today, at 70 years old, he's celebrating that achievement with a perfect 4.0 GPA and graduating with honors.
Seventy. Years. Old.
While many people would be content to rest on a lifetime of accomplishments, my dad has never stopped learning, growing, or challenging himself. His determination, discipline, and work ethic continue to inspire me every single day.
This degree represents years of hard work, late nights, perseverance, and a commitment to proving that it's never too late to keep learning.
Dad, congratulations. I love you, I'm ridiculously proud of you, and I'm so grateful to call you my father. ❤️🎓
