Congrats to my Family

I want to congratulate several members of my family on finishing and achieving great things in their lives. First I would like to congratulate my sister in finishing her law degree at the great institution of Pepperdine University. With her JD (Juris Doctor) which is a first degree in law offered by universities in a number of countries, most notably the United States. It is considered a professional degree as one of the main purposes of the degree is to provide the academic training for those who wish to become lawyers. In addition to the JD, she got her Masters in Dispute Resolution all within three years at the graduate level.
To my cousin who is doing her very best in school. She just got awarded spot for the 2006-2007 Drum Major spot in her middle school. She will be entering 8th grade* and she will be the best. I bought her the baton back 5 months ago and now she's drum major. I still can't believe it since she couldn't do anything the first week or so and I was worried it was going to be put into storage or something. Good luck mich!
* I think 8th grade... probably 9th, i'm leaning on that like 20%
