There is only 1 day left before Whitney, my last kid, graduates from High School...yesterday was my last official day in 22 years that I will ever awaken a "child" in order to get them somewhere...or, right now, THEY ready themselves to get "somewhere" on time...this feels very good...it is also a little bit sad....this is a big passage...very big.
And so, Wednesday's "Sr. Chapel and Honors Program was bitter sweet....it was filled with "last things"....but it was good.
Whitney led, along with a young man all the songs for the Chapel portion...who knew? She did wonderfully...we were so proud. Then they began handing out the Awards...then I was really proud....I LOVE academics...and I really LOVE it when MY kids do well...somehow I think it has something to do with me....so I beamed.
She...
- received straight A award certificates in: Honors English IV; Economics & Environmental Science;
- received the "Presidential Award to Academic Excellence", and plus a medal that she gets to pin to her "gown" at Graduation;
- received St. John's "Senior Academic Excellence Award";
- received a medallion medal for being a member of the National Honor Society;
- recieved her "yellow cords" for maintaining a GPA of above 3.5..more Academic Excellence
Woot woot....shout it from the Mountain Tops....we are finished...and she finished well....there were no drug overdoses, no illegitmate children, no jail time, (these things matter VERY MUCH to me) ....but there were some tickets...and they were doozies...I better count my blessings now....college IS coming....until then, watch over her LORD!
