Kevin's Graduation

A few years ago, Mary’s brother Kevin decided to change bring his acting career to a close and begin a new career in nursing. He enrolled in an intense 18 month nursing program at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. When I say intense, I mean intense. We have barely seen hide nor hair of him the past two years. Highly unusual for someone who likes to be seen!

Yesterday, he graduated, with honors, from the program. He has already landed a job at the Jersey City Hospital just four blocks from his condo. Mary, Grandpa, and I joined Enrico in celebrating this massive achievement yesterday.

We are not the only ones to think Kevin has done good. CNN published an article about his journey yesterday! All those years of acting and he finally gets some major media attention for…leaving acting.

We are all very proud of Kevin and wish him well in his new career!

My gosh am I proud of Kevin. Words cannot contain what Rico, dad, Russ, and I felt watching him receive awards for student leadership, acceptance into the National Honor Society, and just plain finishing the program! Moreover, he is already the most wonderful nurse. As his pediatric clinical professor told me (she is the one who nominated him for the article), "Not only is Kevin a meticulous nurse, he brings joy and compassion to his patients. If you were looking for him during the down time, you could find him sitting with the sick kids making them laugh. And they couldn't get enough of him." I told her I know. He brings that to all of us already.
We love you Guy!
