I am SO not a morning person, but we got a call saying that Shadow was getting an award and to come to Awards Day if we could (and also that the award was a surprise). He brought home the choir trophy yesterday because his choir teacher wasn't going to be there for Awards Day so I knew there must be something else he was getting.
When he brought home the trophy I asked him about Awards Day and he said that he was pretty sure he wasn't getting anything because he was "just an average student." Gotta tell y'all - that hurt my heart. Shadow is plenty smart, but I can tell that he doesn't enjoy school like I do. While a lot of parents expect for their children to be miniature versions of themselves, I do not. I love and appreciate Shadow the way he is and I am so proud of him for all of his achievements.
So aside from the choir trophy he received this Certificate of Achievement in Algebra with Finance. Gotta say - I was not expecting that. Not because he's not smart, but I guess it was a class that he didn't complain about nor was it as exciting as choir so it was just never brought up. I suppose that meant he was doing well! 🙂
In addition to that he was recognized for participating in Writer's Bowl back in October. He was on the team that won first place. He got a neat little medal for that, but I have no idea where it is stashed now so it's not in this picture. 😕
Anyway, I'm super proud of him and that was totally worth getting up early for. 😃❤❤❤
