Lessons I learned in school

Micah promoted from 6th grade today. Wow, I can't even begin to explain the feelings that I had today. I love the song by Trace Adkins- "Your gonna miss this" it is about wanting to grow up too fast, and the ones who have, are saying slow down you will miss these moments in your life. It is true, It seems just like the blink of an eye and life has passed by quickly. Micah is a very good student, she earned the top academic award, and the presidential award. As well as she was asked to represent her class by speaking at promotion. Here are some of my favorite inserts from her speech: "Everything in school begins the learning process for life." "I have learned that having good friends, means you need to be a good friend. Being a good friend means that you don't say something you will regret. After all, they will find out sooner or later. It also means to accept others for who they are, and accept yourself for who you are." "Many of us have had our own experiences in school, some good, some bad, but I am sure that all of us have learned valuable lessons to begin making our future. " I am not just saying this because I am her Mom, but Micah definitely stole the show today. She was incredible. She is very well put together, knows what she wants, and has the drive to be successful. She is definitely her Daddy's little girl. She is just like him. We are very proud of her and all that she has accomplished in her life so far.
