Today Megan received an award at the ceremony in Thomas Edison High School. This was Megan's first year in the special Architectural studies program at Thomas Edison High School. The Awards Ceremony actually took place at the next door Wheaton High School Auditorium. The award ceremony didn’t start until almost noon, about 30 minutes late. A group of five students emceed the ceremony. Megan received the Above and Beyond Award for the architecture and engineering section. It was fun to see Megan receive this award. I was able to meet Mr. Pham, Megan's teacher. Congratulations, Megan, on receiving this prestigious award!
Living thousands of miles from my grandson, it is a grand honor to participate in some of his activities. So when the opportunity arose to attend one of his soccer games, we were delighted to accept the invitation. Although his team did not win, the game was not about winning but was about rewarding every member with the same rewards: a large conspicuous badge and a sumptuous frozen treat and a photo op of the team and coach. Although he did not score and at times seemed not to know what was going on, we enjoyed watching him grace the soccer field with his running around the whole field. He seemed to be saying to us to watch him, which we did with pleasure. I am proud of my grandson for trying. One day, I believe, he will be a great soccer player. But for now, he is still my favorite soccer player in America. And that's what counts. Go, Blake!
