One graduation in the family is a happy event but to have two on the same day is particularly exciting, writes Jackie Parkes.
Jennifer Parkes, 23, and her sister, Katherine, 20, graduated on July 13.
Jenny, as she likes to be known, qualified as a doctor at Hull/York Medical School (HYMS). Her graduation took place in the morning in Hull.
Katherine graduated with a 2:1 with a BA Hons in English in the afternoon at Hull University.
The sisters have six younger sisters and two younger brothers. The sisters and the other girls all went to or are presently attending St Paul’s Roman Catholic school for Girls, Edgbaston, Birmingham.
