Today was an awards ceremony at school. A time when kids can stand out in their academics as well as life.... Our kids stood out two-fold!
Nate was awarded a National Award. He was awarded The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution Bronze ROTC Medal. He also won awards for outstanding academic honors in both Algebra and Calculus!
Brian was awarded outstanding academic honors in Social Studies, English and Science!
If you can imagine my pride as I'm sitting there laughing and crying because in the beginning I was told Brian should be institutionalized and Nate would be lucky to make it in High School. And now here they are taking the words "can't, won't, never and no hope" and trampling on them at every turn. Could I have believed them? Yes, I could have but I wouldn't accept their limitations and instead told my children they could be limitless in their abilities...and now today they proved that the human spirit perseveres far and above what others deem possible!!!
