When a year ends, we are struck by nostalgia for all the successes and failures of the year that is coming to a close. This year, 2025, my daughter is graduating from university with a degree in social communication. Looking through the photo album, I came across some memories accompanied by changes.

In this first photo, my daughter finished primary school and was promoted to secondary school. She has always been a perfectionist and likes to be on the honour roll. The photo was taken on the day she was presenting her project.

Five years later, she graduated from secondary school with a bachelor's degree from the republic. I still remember how excited she was and all the plans she had, but then the pandemic hit. There was no graduation ceremony that year. My daughter was very sad, but to cheer her up, I organised a graduation ceremony at home. I even made her a graduation cap. Of course, only those of us who lived there were there due to pandemic restrictions, but she still cherishes the memory, even if it wasn't what she had hoped for.

Although the restrictions due to the pandemic continued, she began studying for her university degree online, which was a challenge because we did not have Wi-Fi at that time. Once everything returned to normal, she began studying in person for five uninterrupted years. A few days ago, she obtained her degree in social communication with honours cum laude, another stage that has come to an end, and I am a proud mother.
