This time of year is very special for many high school and college students who are graduating and moving on to new phases of their life. They may be losing some old friends, but they are hopefully looking ahead to a promising future. It is often an equally proud time for the parents of these graduates. They too may be facing new changes in their life with a child moving on to a new college or career. For Alex and Angela Siliezar of Moreno Valley it is a proud moment in their lives, times three. This is because all three of their daughters are Spring 2014 graduates. Their daughter Barbara Danielle Siliezar will be graduating from Canyon Springs High School in Moreno Valley, soon to be attending Cal Baptist University in Riverside. Another daughter, Alexandra Nicolle Siliezar, just graduated from New York University with a Master's Degree in Public Relations. And yet another daughter, Vanessa Hillary Siliezar, just graduated from the University of Redlands with a degree in Management in Organizational Leadership. All three of their girls are graduating within weeks of each other, and this proud parenting duo has gladly flown from coast to coast to attend all graduation ceremonies. Mom, Angela said, "It's been a very busy time for us, but we wouldn't want to change a thing. We are so very proud of all our girls." Alex and Angela Siliezar have always stressed the importance of education to their kids because they believe it gives them more opportunities in in their careers as well as a better life in general. They are so happy all three of their daughters have listened to Mom and Dad and taken that advice.
