My grandfather passed away recently after a long drawn-out illness, which is partly why I have been away from my little blog. During this time, I also had my last few ASL classes and a final presentation to conjure up. I am happy to report that I got a 93% on my final story presentation and an A in the class.
Grandfather was a strong supporter of higher education. His influence was part of the reason I decided to go back to get a degree. It was very hard for me to muster the energy and enthusiasm to attend my final class. In the end, I knew Grandfather would be quite disapproving if I opted to sit home grieving rather than finishing my class.
I will continue to miss him and draw on his encouragement as I push forward with ASL104 in the Spring.
