GRADUATE DEDICATES HER DEGREE TO HER EX HUSBAND

Noshavyah Adanna Walcott | “I'd like to dedicate my degree to my ex husband. He was by no means perfect and I was further away from it but despite alll our differences he put my academics first! Always made sure I had what I needed to complete my courses. Even after we separated he still remains constant and reliable and was always one phone call away. He is truly a great individual. In the months following our separation, I saw how cruel men could be and how swift they were to pull down and bash the women they were building. I am fortunate enough that he continued to lay bricks on the foundations of my education and for that he has my undying love. He was not able to join me today but ensured that I got to and from graduation. I'm happy we chose to preserve 6 years of friendship despite our indifferences. My dearest love, you also have my eternal gratitude.”
