Also - Go Graduate!
It wasn't easy!
His first semester this year he pulled down a 3.3 GPA and was looking good. Then after his college applications went out, he went on a serious senior slide, and got hauled up on academic probation as his GPA slid to 1.3.
But he pulled it together to finish at an umimpressive yet entirely passing 2.6 GPA and he's out the door and on to the next adventure.
It's been a stressful year. He broke out in hives for six weeks. But we had really good talk in the car this morning: sweet, thoughtful, reflective, present.
Oh man, David. I remember that period well. Hard to believe you're on the other side of it now. (And a few other minor changes in the interim.)
sweet, thoughtful, reflective, present.
Allergies.
Darth Tigger is graduating? That's...unpossible! And yet EXCELLENT. Go Emmett!
Holy cow! Congrats to Emmett and them that raised him!!
No question that going through high school sucks more as a parent than as the student. I would go through it multiple times myself rather than try and drag the boys through it again.
Is he excited about college? What kind of a program is he entering? (forgive me if I should know this, mind like sieve you know)
Congratulations to Emmet and his family!
Wow, I am really not ready for Emmett to be a college student!
Wow.
I cannot believe it!
But Woo hoo and congratulations to Emmett!
Weren't you a college student yourself when we started all this, Jess, or just barely done?
Emmett is an awesome kid, big and brawny and goofy and broad-shouldered and willing to carry Matilda to bed each night and help her pick out the right dress to wear to his graduation ceremony (it's covered with hot air balloons). I am so ridiculously lucky and blessed to be a part of his life.
