Elin earns psychology degree with top GPA in her class, speaks at commencement ceremony:
The full video of her speech is up. One funny part is when she talks about how much her life has changed since she began taking classes in 2005; she mentions that now she's a mother and a US citizen and also "no longer married", to much laughter and applause.
Tiger and Lindsey and Elin are all getting along these days, so that's good for the sake of kids.
With Charlie asleep in the audience, Nordegren said to applause: "Education has been the only consistent part of my life the last nine years. And it has offered me comfort. Education is one thing that no one can take away from you."
The Swedish-born American citizen said her fellow students helped her to keep going. "When you told me stories about your full-time day jobs, about coming home to cook dinner for your families, and about making sure your children were cared for while you were attending classes, you inspired me," she said. "Whatever obstacle I was facing at the time, your stories and sharing helped me put things in perspective."
A nanny and one-time model when she met Woods, Nordegren, for whom English is a second language, had a reputation in pro-golf circles for being quiet and reserved. She joked Saturday about how, right after she had taken a class called Communication and the Media, "I was unexpectedly thrust into the media limelight. I probably should have taken more notes in that class!"
