The shadow
The shadow knows!
Wright Middle school yesterday :
At 2PM Rikki and I arrived the 8th grade class assembled.
The mayor gave a speech on public service. The principle spoke of the importance of continuing education .
Then to inspirational music the kids were called up and handed certificates of completion.
In time Ian was called. He came up Rikki and I followed to record the moment as most parents did he shook hands with the assistant principle. Then the princible. "Ian you were quite a handful but a good kid. Now become a great man. " Then the mayor who handed him his diploma. "What goal do you have young man?" Ian responded "I am going to be a marine like my grandpa " she smiled "Semper Fi no greater calling!"
And then the rest of the class.
We went from room to room saying good bye to his teachers. Most had good things to say. His history teacher had special praise that he took to the subject well.
And so my oldest son walks out of wright Middle school next stop memorial high school !
