There is something about that last semester of high school...the kids just realize none of it matters anymore, and they kind of give up a little. Tyson was no exception. Once he decided he was going to BYUI, his grades didn't matter, his attendance didn't matter, and seminary? Yeah that didn't matter either. But somehow he managed to make it to graduation day!
First Seminary, which I'm being honest, was the harder finish line to get through. But "we" made it! I guess Tyson was right when he said, "Do you really think I'm not going to graduate from Seminary?!" Yikes, I was a little uncertain haha. Thank goodness for make ups:)
High School Graduation was never in jeopardy haha. Tyson was a great student, and I am very proud of his hard work, independence, and self reliance (even if he skipped a few classes that last semester) . At his graduation, the principal spoke. He reminded us that school was shut down because of Covid Tyson's very first year of high school, the next year it was all remote, the following year was masks, and senior year was their only normal year of high school. I got choked up thinking about how much they all missed. What a hard thing for teenagers to have to go through.
(Dropping the kids off in their caps and gown gets me right in my mommy heart. Watching them walk away is just such a heartbreaking visual. I honestly feel like part of my heart is walking away with each one of my babies)
I am so grateful to have been able to watch Tyson grow. He has come a long way from that little 4-year-old who cried every time I dropped him off at Kindergarten. I am excited to watch what comes next!
