Some moments deserve to last forever
It all started with my mother.
When my older sister graduated, my mum had an idea—not just to take a few nice photos, but to create something meaningful. She handcrafted a graduation album: a beautiful collection of images, handwritten notes, family memories, and messages of love and pride. It wasn’t just a gift. It was a gesture—one that stayed with us.
At the time, I didn’t fully understand its value.
But then, years later, when it was my turn to graduate, she made one for me too.
I still remember holding it for the first time. On the front, my name and graduation date. Inside, messages from my parents and siblings, old photos from childhood, scribbled words of encouragement, little jokes, and heartfelt wishes. That moment wasn’t just about getting a degree—it was about recognising everything it took to get there. Every sacrifice. Every step. Every person who helped me along the way.
Later, when our youngest sister graduated, my mum made a third album—her final masterpiece. That’s when it really hit me: this wasn’t just a tradition. This was a celebration of life, love, and growth. A way of freezing a chapter in time and saying, you did it… and we saw you every step of the way.
And that’s why I want to offer this experience to students in Manchester.
