When Katrina (we call her “Trina”) recently walked across the stage at Columbia College’s Graduation ceremony, we were thrilled that another Granny’s House mom could now claim that lofty title, “College Graduate!”
As if working a full time job to put food on the table for her children, managing their meals, school projects, and afterschool activities weren’t enough, she had the grace, grit, and perseverance to plough through years of homework assignments, research papers, and late-into-the-night study sessions to get that coveted degree: Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice.
And we were not the only one’s who are proud of her. We joined a host of family and friends who traveled to Columbia to congratulate this huge accomplishment. Her children were beaming. In fact, one of them said, “I’m glad she did it! Now I know that I can do the same!”
