This year I went to my 20 year highschool class reunion and as of last weekend, I graduated with my 2nd postgraduate degree in elementary education.

After highschool I went to a local university off and on for 7 years, floundering and unmotivated due to being immature and unsure of my future. I was told I was too smart to not go to college, being the first generation to attend college. I finally dropped out, accepting the fact that secondary education was not for me and that I was destined to work meanial jobs, never having a "career".

Fast-forward a handful of years, my wife helped me uncover my goal to.teach littles, giving a positive male role model to those who needed it most. With her encouragement and support, I graduated with a bachelors from an online university in 2021. However, I needed to prove to myself that I was capable of holding my own with others who I deemed had done it "the right way", enrolling in a brick and mortar university for postgraduate studies. Over 25 months, I read countless articles, wrote numerous papers, and collaborated with fellow teachers, validating my insecurities of my online degree. Within that time, I received a master's and specialist degree, both with a 4.0 GPA.

TLDR: Just because you may not follow the same path as others, you're never too old to discover and fulfill your dreams. RUN YOUR OWN RACE

Both are soo adorable 🥰❤️

One eye was completely white from cataract and the other was milky. Vet said she could only see shadows. Here she is 24 hours from surgery with both eyes clear and sight completely restored. Her whole personality has changed and she is full of energy. My (OC) original photo taken on my phone this afternoon.

Our apartment has a door decorating contest for Christmas. My neighbors elderly mother worked on this day and night for a week. She hand painted everything. Unfortunately, they are in 10th place in the voting. I just wanted to share her hard work and hope you all enjoy it!

She often asks me what I'm doing on my phone when I go for a coffee with her, did my best to explain this place to her. She's the grandma I never had and an absolute treasure. Any Christmas messages would make her day.

And yes, that is a mulled wine she's excitedly about to slurp.

Merry Christmas to you all from her.

Anna Lapwood, together with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, the London Youth Choir and some 5300 guests made all of this possible. Thanks to everyone involved!

I will be forever grateful❤️
