The Ohio State University

I'm so happy to be in Columbus, Ohio. Yesterday we saw our son, Daniel graduate from The Ohio State University to receive a MBA. It was thrilling to be in the Jerome Schottenstein Center to see graduates receive their diploma. I'm so proud of Daniel and happy about all the opportunities in front of him. Nothing has ever been handed to him. He's worked hard and planned ahead for everything he's received.

I loved hearing President Gordon Gee speak and tried to video most of his inspiring words that encourage all to be the best they can be.

The commencement address was given by Curtis J. Moody the CEO of the largest minority-owned architectural firm in the nation. He received his degree in architecture at The Ohio State University Knowlton School of Architecture. His speech was inspiring and will be remembered.

I had the opportunity to go to a special dinner for graduates receiving their masters from the Fisher School of Business. I was the proud mother taking photos as her son received honors for the Deloit Business Plan Competition. It's obvious the highest standards of students and faculty are expected and encouraged at The Ohio State University.

I wish I could be part of it all too. Everyone was welcomed as a member of the family of The Ohio State University. Everything is better in Ohio, Columbus, Ohio, and especially at The Ohio State University.

Daniel was very kind to send us tickets to come to see him graduate. I'm so proud of him and grateful for the opportunity to experience for a few days a glimpse into his world. He's one of the best people I know in the world so I love to spend time with him.
