After Georgia and the professor had left the table, Mary appeared from behind them. “I am proud of you, Malee. Nobody could imagine you would graduate, and definitely not with a top 3 prize.” smiled Mary. In her head, she sighed. If only her son could be more hardworking. She raised the glass from her…
