I find it funny/not funny that I can't find my B.A. degree nor my M.A. degree. I mean the certificates. One is small and one is big. They are in nice holders.
I had a special place for them. Now I can't find that special place...

(1,365 posts)I have Community College and a Community College of the Air Force degrees but where they are I don't know. I haven't looked at them in 30 or more years. I don't have a need to show or display them so they're filed somewhere with a bunch of other stuff in my closet.

(3,128 posts)As soon as I fix up my basement office, it's going to go up on the wall, along with my Paralegal Certificate. My mother had them both framed for me as a gift after I graduated.
I am a thinker, a dreamer and a planner but not much of a doer. I've been planning to fix up my office for years. One of these days......

(1,365 posts)I have a bunch of AF files and documents in file folders and books that I need to go through. My thought is to sort through and put them in similar piles and then scan them. It will be a lot of work but my summer is free and I might do it.

(29,757 posts)A diploma I do have displayed is my maternal grandmother's diploma from nursing school. She finished her 3 yr hospital-based program in 1918, having left home at only 16 to go to the program. She was born on July 4th, 1899.
It is huge, 19x15, and I have it in a silver antique looking frame to complement its age. It is in surprisingly pristine condition, considering that it was not preserved in any way.
I treasure this bit of family history.
My mom, the oldest of her 3 daughters, was also a nurse.
