Top 10 Percent Breakfast

I am so thankful that the top 10% Breakfast fell in the morning on the Track day so that I could do both. I missed a Choir Field trip with my girly this week because her brother had a meet at the same time. Its tough to decide where to be at times.
She works so incredibly hard. Much harder than I ever remember my oldest working. To him school came naturally. He worked hard but he didn't have to really take notes, he was a natural test taker and he didn't do much in the lines of church leadership.

She writes hours of notes between three classes every day, even on weekends. She truly studies for every test. She puts 150% into projects, she is just amazing.

I am thankful for her dedication to the Lord, rarely ever missing church. She is a student leader there as well as in the band and helping with the children's ministry on Sundays.
She holds a few positions at school, takes 6 Pre-AP/AP courses and Choir where she is involved in two different choirs.
She is one busy kiddo!
To have all A's one B in a set of 3 Nine Weeks is wonderful.
I can't wait to see where Graduation Day takes her. What college the Lord puts in her path and how bright her future will be.

My Sons Endeavors

Recently we had to purchase our oldest child a jacket of his own, he decided it would be our gift to him when he turned 17 this month. What a mature decision. We had been borrowing one from different people every time he had a formal event due to lack of money. We decided that it was affecting his confidence during interviews and speeches to be in someone elses clothes, maybe if the clothes had become his it would have been different, but they were clothes that would be returned. We were right. This past weekend he went to a new competition and he did better than he ever has. I am thankful for that Godly wisdom. I am also thankful for the sale that we found at Kohls for the jacket and that it matched the pants he already had.

Summer Group he was in to promote recycling in a local school

He has been part of Skills USA and National Technical Honor Society. This year he decided he wanted to be President of this group. This past weekend he went to district where he won 1st place in Technical Math and 4th place in Architecture Design of a Bakery he created. He will go on to State. I am very excited for him. This is a picture of the night he gave his first speech for the induction ceremony

He also chose to be part of the Interact group this year, which is part of the Rotary Club. I think it has great opportunities. He was able to go to a Leadership Conference and had a great weekend with  new experiences.

Acadec has been very involved this year. It is nice to see him do well in this competition. This years focus is on Russia. Next year his little sister hopes to join him in the class where he will be a senior and she will be a freshman. She is excited to learn along side of her big brother.

This year his High School started A Unite West group. He was chosen from one of the groups that he is in to participate in this overall group of leaders of his High School campus. What a wonderful opportunity.

He is also part of another Leadership Group for the school district. They just went to the State Capitol where he got to ask the State Rep of our area about the testing and what can be done about it so that it is a better process for our students

They got to sit in on meetings and conversation to. I am so happy he has had so many ways to serve in the community and further his leadership skills. I think it will be very helpful to do well at those college interviews he will have in the next year. He hopes to attend a local state school with a full ride.. I pray that his desires are granted.
