    Hello! 5 years ago I only had a high school graduation certificate from a “vocational” school and because it was from a “ vocational” school my credits only = a grade 10.

    At that time I was a little ashamed of my high school diploma so I had the wife/secretary start booking me in adult collage courses during my slow work season - so I could have a proper grade 12 certificate hanging on the wall. Trying to get that grade 12 diploma was the hardest work the wife/secretary ever booked me for. But when I was handed my diploma on graduation day I am sure I felt just like the scarecrow in the wizard of Oz - when he was handed his diploma. Right now I have 2 graduation diplomas hanging on my wall and they are both plastered with gold stars - and I am very proud of both of them. Cheers!
