Not an old timer from this board but some know me here. DD is graduating Saturday Magnum Cum Laud. She finished her student teaching on a Thursday and was asked that day to be a permanent sub at the school she student taught at. There were 3 other student teachers there so, this was both a surprise and important should a position come open next year. She has worked every day since. Also, last Saturday, her university gave her and her teammates rings for winning 3 conference championships in a row. That ring is impressive. Hope the OP doesn't mind me adding this here.
