Oh-em-goodness, do you ❤️❤️❤️ these pics as much as I do?! This is 2014 Rockin’ Recipient Mohammad (Mickey) Hammad on his graduation day!! He just graduated from the Elmhurst Learning and Success Academy at Elmhurst College in Illinois. And just look at that incredible pride and confidence on his beautiful face!! ????????This is what it’s all about, peeps – THIS is what all our current and former Rockin’ Recipients are dreaming of: The college experience and all it brings, including that incredible feeling of accomplishment when they reach the goal of graduation and moving on to the next phase of life. Our Rockin’ Recipients are lifelong learners, and Mickey is such an awesome example of this!!

His dad emailed us this sweet note along with the pics:

“We have a huge graduation party at a beautiful banquet with 120 quests, Mickey was amazing and dancing with his friends and everyone

else. He and his professor applied for Southwest Airlines last week since this according to him is his dream job, but unfortunately they emailed him back, someone else got it. They encouraged him to keep applying every time the job opens online. He also applied for other two jobs, we hope for the best, in a meantime we’re traveling till the end of August.”

Sounds so wonderful – I’m sorry he missed out on this first opportunity for his dream job, but I just know there will be other opportunities, and I’m so excited to hear he’s out there applying for positions!!!

Mickey, we are so proud of you!! Congratulations on your huge accomplishment of graduating!! ❤️❤️
