Friday Robert & I went over to Boston to attend the different graduation ceremonies and receptions for Mariko. To say we are proud of her is an understatement. She is an amazing, intelligent, beautiful, down-to-earth, and witty young woman. We were thrilled to be able to go and talk with some of her professors, classmates, and mentors.
Receiving the certificate for completion of the requirements for her B.S. in Behavioral Neuroscience.
