Getting good grades and earning accolades are wonderful accomplishments, and you achieved them with humility and grace. But that’s not what we are most proud of.

Over the last four years, you stayed true to who you are and never felt the need to conform to the “norm.” You faced many tough battles some visible, some unseen and through it all, you remained faithful, resilient, and determined. You rose above every challenge placed in front of you.

You never quit, even when you had to coach yourself through the hard moments. You are truly one of a kind. It is your character, your integrity, and your attitude that make us most proud to call you our son.

Love,

Mom & Dad

“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
