Levi graduated from high school today. I am so proud of him. This kid went from hating school his Freshman and Sophomore years to discovering PSEO his Junior and Senior years. The change from regular high school classes and sitting in class all day long to taking classes at the local community college was the best thing for him. He started caring about his classes. His grades went up as did his sense of responsibility. His personal growth was phenomenal. Instead of just scraping by with passing grades, he graduated Cum Laude and was accepted into the College of Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities where he will attend in the Fall. And even better, all of the community college class credits not only counted towards high school, but will count towards college as well so he can start his college career as a Junior. Smart kid. I am bursting with pride…and I know his Dad is as well.
I’m sad that his Dad couldn’t be at his graduation, as he was at Anna and Seth’s. Last week, Levi brought home his cap and gown. He tried them on and hung up his gown so it wouldn’t be wrinkled. Then I took his cap and said “Here…your Dad can hold that for you”. Even though Jason couldn’t be there, he’s in our hearts all the time and I know he is so proud of our baby too.
