Passed

After 7 long years in the wildnerness, my bro has finally earned his polytechnic diploma - at the age of 25. It's been such a long detour, all starting with truancy back in junior college, followed by a series of turns, misses and crashes. Even when he told my mum that he had indeed graduated, my mum would not believe it until she saw the results in black and white. The letter finally arrived in the mailbox today. Like a woman expecting her pregnancy test results (and probably dreading it), my mum egged me on to open the letter. And there it was finally: "Passed and completed the diploma course." She could only shout hallelujah (ok, she didn't exactly say that, but it was something like that.) And even now, just an hour after opening the letter, she still can't stop talking about the pass. Congrats brudder :)
