How do you know your graduating student nominee?

She is my daughter

Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!

I think Whitnie should be recognized because as she climbs up the ladder of success, she juggles a full time job, she is a wonderful mother of a beautiful daughter, and a loving wife, and she makes it all look so easy but most people know that it's a lot.

Whitnie is a go-getter and a brilliant woman all around. I couldn't be more proud of her.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about your graduating student nominee?

She knows what she wants and she goes for it!

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Whitnie!
