My dad's graduation

🎓MY DAD'S GRADUATION🎓

My dad is 50 years old this year, and he has done his educations days and achieved ok for himself. During the lockdown we spend so much time together at home so he think he could do something, so he enroll himself on a course in bible study with the Trinity Bible College. 
On Sunday the 18th of April, he achieved a LTH in theology from the Methodist Trinity College.
The day started very early in the morning. We (My family) have to get up early and get ready for the graduation. We got to the church at Ponsonby Methodist church which they held the graduation ceremony, and try to get a good seat so we can see the whole thing. Boy aren't we were lucky? Because after half an hour or so I turned and look back the whole church was packed and people have to stand outside. But it's ok because there was a marque and a big screen tv already set up next to the church for the over floats. 

At first, the band played the song Humaieiki (Into my heart), to lead the students to their seats, then a lady came up to the front, and started calling the students names. The students had to stand up, once their name was called. When it had came to my dad's name, I tried to snap a picture of him. Once the three reverends finished their speeches, they started calling the students names, to come up and receive their book, and stole. I snuck up the front, and tried to snap a few pictures of him, shaking hands with the president of the church.

At the end, all the students gathered up to the front and took a photo, I managed to take heaps of pictures. I felt really proud of my dad, which inspired me to never give up and everything is possible. I hope one day I will graduate to. My dad never gave up on his study, and succeeded.🥳CONGRATULATIONS DAD!🥳 Blog you later!

  1. Kia ora Ros. Wow, that's awesome for your dad. I like your message of never giving up. I've learnt so much in my job for Ako Hiko so I think it's really important that people keep learning when they're adults too. Has it inspired you to learn anything over the holidays?
