Raphael and Pateet: Raphael's Graduation "Class of 2014"

Last April 12, 2014, Rap graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from Brigham Young University-Hawaii. His sister's family flew all the way from Texas to celebrate this milestone in his life. His brother, Michael, also graduated with him. Rap always tells me that, without the program of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints called I-WORK, he will not be able to gain a degree.

I've always admired my husband's dedication in his study and work. He never misses class if its not important. He never calls-in sick in his work even if he is sick. The little things in every subject matters such as Survey Bonus Points or attending forums. He is very thorough and detailed with all his assignments and exams. Even if he plays computer games, he still manages to get high grades.

In the span of 3 years that we have been together here at BYU-H, he has always been my hero, my bestfriend, and my eternal companion. I am so proud of the man he has become. I love him with all my heart! Congratulations Sweetheart! You deserve all the blessings and success you've achieved.
