We are now the proud parents of a high school graduate! Even though school was officially over on Monday the ceremony was yesterday. All 6 minutes of it! Because of COVID and the restrictions in place, it was one grad and their guests alone in the gym with a principal and a photographer. We got out of the car at 11:40 and back into it before noon. Not much pomp or circumstance for 14 years of work. But he got a cupcake!
While we were excited, proud, and thrilled, our graduate not so much. He was over it. Already moving on to the next thing. High school was just a necessary evil for the real job coming up...life! Even university is just a hurdle to him. Not even a high one! Then on to changing the world.
See this kid was born to do just that. For years we have known he thinks differently. Has bigger ideas than most. Figures out ways to implement changes that will help those who need it most. The only things keeping him from these successes are age and education. Both of which are quickly dissolving in front of his, and our, eyes.
Congratulations Alex!! We are beyond proud. Beyond impressed. You are the future and it's very bright from where we are standing!!
