Graduation Pary

I have had the most amazing couple of weeks.  There are so many things to say, but I will keep it short.  I was honored to attend a graduation party yesterday for Leslie F.  I was her fourth grade teacher, and she has kept in touch with me over the years.  We went to lunch a couple of years ago, and I was amazed at the beautiful, smart, young woman that she had turned into.  Long story short, she invited me to her college graduation and a party at her parent's house.  It was such an honor to still be remembered after all of these years.  She considered me her favorite teacher, and quite frankly I thought she might have a few other teachers there also, but I was the only one.  I am so proud of the woman that she has turned into.  She graduated summa cum laude from St. Thomas and already has a job waiting for her in September after she finished her summer volunteering at a camp for handicapped children in Wisconsin.  What a wonderful girl.  I know that her parents are so proud, and I am too. 

Congratulations Leslie!!  Keep up the good work.  I can't wait to see what you do next.
