Oh what a night -Graduation 2013

 

 

 

What a night!

Black Rose's Boyfriend graduated from High School

this week.

 

I truly am unable to express

the multitude of feelings

and the pride

I felt (feel)

for him.

 

I earlier wrote "Blessings"

wherein I spoke of visiting the grave of a woman I never met.

 

Well, this young man is doing AWESOME!

 

In the presentation of this first award, the Principal said:  

 "Often candidates for the medal are easily assumed or expected, and in less frequent examples, that leadership is equally effective but in a more subtle way. We know that genuine leaders often become known by the examples they set. This year’s Birks Medal goes to A " (as you know I don't use names).

Birk’s Medal – Leadership – “ This medal recognizes leadership in student affairs".

 

How very accurate is this introduction.

 

Additionally, he was awarded the following:

Dr. Turner Memorial Award-voted by the Teachers contributed most toward good citizenship,

Rev John Scott Memorial Bursary-Royal Canadian Legion' local Branch ,

 as well as a Scholarship from  where he will be attending in the Fall.  

 

 

 

 So proud of you both!!  

 

Last year was Black Rose's year

for Scholarships and awards,

this years is yours.

 

As I said to the lady in front of me

at Graduation -

We may come from a small community

and in most cases never moved away,

but we never raised no dummies (play on as I don't usually speak incorrect English).

 

CONGRATULATIONS to each of you on a very successful year

as you both head to University & College in just  a little while.

 

That, my friends, will be a very exciting but challenging day for me!

 

Love ya both.
