******Warning....Bragging Post....I'm a mom and I can!******Here's to an awesome day! This morning put a smile on my face.....my daughter graduated 5th grade. I admit that I got a tad bit teary eyed. I reflected on the first day that I took her to that school in Kindergarten....she cried and didn't want me to leave and now she's off to HIGH SCHOOL. I thought back and reflected over the past 6 years there......all I can say is, "My little girl is growing up." I'm sad but I'm also glad that she's become a little lady with brains. She's definitely a smart cookie.....I see myself in her, ONLY BETTER!
She made me a proud mom when she received the "President's Education Award" for Outstanding Academic Excellence..... sent and signed by the one and only, President Obama. WOO HOO! She received a pin to wear with the presidential seal on it. Now for the high school journey.....I'm not looking forward to this.
My life is flying by now......you can thank my kiddos for that!
I love seeing my kids accomplish things....Here are a few quotes that were used in her commencement. Very inspirational to these kids....I wish more adults would use some of these.
Just one small star can set the world alight
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Never, Never, Never, give up -Winston Churchill
Imagination is more important than knowledge -Albert Einstein
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent - Eleanor Roosevelt
The secret to life is not fame and fortune, but to be content within yourself and be kind to others. Yes, it is that simple- if only we would remember - Dr. Moon
And for my favorite quote:
Be the change you wish to see in the world -Gandhi
