Sara´s graduation....

Today Sara graduated. After 3 years of study she graduated in a Higher Handels Exam which is an exam in sales and marketing.

Over the last few weeks Sara had 4 written exams  and 6 oral exams. Today was the last oral exam. While she was inside at the exam, we were waiting outside. It´s the tradition in Denmark that if the student passes then the family are waiting to put the graduation hat on his or her head. So Kristian, Andrew, Leah and I were waiting anxiously outside with her hat. Kristian´s mum came along too.

 Once the exam was finished she came out smiling. That was the give away that things had gone well, and they had. She had passed her last exam, she was graduating! 

Her class mates were waiting on her with some roses.

 

 

 Kristian´s mum got the honour of putting her graduation hat on her head. Then there were more roses and flowers for her.

 

 For the next week or so, young people run around with these hats on their heads. Sara was so happy to finally have hers. I on the other hand am so happy that it is not me who has to run around for the next week or so with this on my head.....it´s really not a pretty sight! haha

 After all the excitement at the school we headed into Copenhagen to a lovely Italian restaurant for lunch.

Our niece Sigrid also graduated today, so after being in Copenhagen we headed down to visit her. She was having a reception for friends and family. So the rest of the day was spent there eating loads of food! 


Over the next few days the celebrations continue. This is really a big thing here in Denmark. So I have a few busy days ahead. 


Sara did so well in her exams and we are so proud of her. Now she is taking a year off from the studies. She is trying to find a job so she can earn a little money in the hope that she can move into Copenhagen very soon.
