    Congrats to you and best wishes from another high-school science teacher.

    And, I start teaching at one of the local high school on January 5th.

    My hat is always tipped to teachers. My mother, grandmother, and many aunts taught; untold years. Anyone brave enough to go into high school teaching at this juncture
    has my very deep gratitude.

    Also big congratulations on the education milestones. Mama taught on a lifetime certificate with only an associate degree (1939) until I was in the sixth grade (1959). I
    know what it takes to go back. Took her six and a half years of nights and summers and round trips of 120 miles a day worked in around days in the classroom to get there.
    Drum roll, fireworks. Your parade will have to wait 'til virus clearance is in.

    Wild applause, hooting, whistling congratulations on your achieving the wearing of "another unbifurcated garment"!

    Earning an undergrad, much less a grad degree, is a HUGE life-milestone, good on you!

    Regarding your last sentence, a very cleaver play on Admiral Farragut's words!
