If you look in the picture just above the m in middle school you will see Steven (yes on crutches) this is the parting picture they take in the fall for the 8th graders.
I am so proud of Steven for how he is growing into such a fine young man...He has some very strong opinions on life and the ways of the world(sorry Uncle Bob that means Barrack Obama right now) He has a strong opinion of right and wrong, there is no gray area it is black or white, which I admire in him and also struggle with because it does cause a problem or two now and then. Steven is a good friend and has shown how well he will stand by his friends and support them through some tough times especially at such a young age. He also has chosen good friends that have been there with him through some rough stuff.
Well today was the last day of school for Allegan so that meant awards ceremony for the 8th graders as they become freshmen. Steven got the picture above an academic certificate for good grades, certificates for passing all the MEAP standards, and the one below which he was the most proud of...
...and as he was quick to point out it is not just a citizenship award it is the "Principles Award", which means he had excellent citizenship for all three years of middle school, which in Steven's words means "never got in trouble AT ALL pretty much perfect"
Well "pretty much perfect' is a hard standard to live up to but I am happy with my normal happy young man. Keep up the good work Steven, remembering that you have your faith in God, and a family that will support you no matter what may come in the future. Stick to the path you are on and High School will be fun you know like I always say to ya 'You can do it"
