I can't help but get emotional when I think of all we have come through this past year. It was hard to watch the 8th grade slide show for graduation without feeling complete pride and gratefulness. I'm am so grateful, first to God, that Alex is here to graduate! Secondly, I am grateful to all the friends, family and teachers who have supported us through the past year. It has definitely been a journey, that is for sure, and one that is sure to continue through high school.
I am equally as proud as I am grateful, as Alex has tried very hard this year. Emotionally he has had a wonderful year...well except for sex respect class which is, "just gross, Mom." He never wanted to go to that class!
I know yesterday he was real sulky so as much as he is ready to leave middle school there are things he will certainly miss, like his friend Gabe and, of course his second mom, Mrs Cooper.
After graduation was over he bolted towards the door, he just wanted to get out of there. No cookies or photos with friends he just wanted to come home...I think he's ready to move on.
We are excited to see what lies ahead in his path to adulthood. Mr. Zuzek talked a lot about getting involved and doing well in high school and I really hope Alex heard that...I just wish for him the best high school experience ever!
