I love how fun, energetic, and supportive you are. You always listen and speak your mind, making you such a great friend! I cherish our chats together; you are always so supportive. For the decades ahead, I wish you health, happiness, and a life surrounded by love, support, and great memories. Happy Birthday, Monica! Lorraine Van Genne I love how you always know what you want and are such a strong woman. I have great memories of our times at KNUST, Ghana, especially in our room with Angie. I wish for you to continue being a role model and kind-hearted in the decades ahead. Millicent Yawa Atsu I admire your passion for sports, community service, and mentorship, especially considering your busy work schedule. One of my great memories with you is the summer 2019 family camping at Lone Prairie Camp in Alberta, Canada. It was full of adventures, rides, games, and memorable fun. Congratulations on your 50th! May the next 50 years be even better! Collins Agyemang-Badu You have been a good friend for years, and I appreciate you so much. I love you for all that you are—a very focused and determined lady. I remember one time in class on Angel’s Hill when we were studying “Silas Marner.” You were dozing off in front of Miss Voila or Miss Gyimah, and when called to answer a question, nothing was heard. We believed you had gone through a trench like the main character in the book. We all had a good laugh when you were tapped back to reality. We called you “Miss Silas Marner.” Happy Birthday, Silas Marner! I wish you many more happy years ahead and more blessings in the next decade. Joyce Gugan Marcelin Monica, we’re not sure what’s more impressive—your ability to stabilise soil foundations or your skill in juggling all those hats without losing your head (or your sense of humour)! From refereeing soccer games to engineering rock-solid solutions, you’re the ultimate multi-tasking superstar! Here’s to many more years of keeping us entertained and inspired with your many adventures! You are focused and straightforward, very observant, and always tell it like it is. I wish for you to continue being a rock (pun intended, given your geotechnical expertise!) in our industry, inspiring and mentoring others. May the next decade bring you even more opportunities to shine and may your passion for your work continue to drive you to greatness. Here’s to many more years of friendship, laughter, and adventures together! Ubong Udoumanah The Birthday Journal 43
