Today my oldest daughter, Weegie, graduated from Middle School! I can't believe that she is headed to High School! It was just yesterday that I took her to her first day of Nursery school and she cried. Oh how I hated to leave her there, she was such a cry baby and broke my heart. Her first day of middle school she did not know a soul that was going there, but she quickly made friends and loved her school! The ceremony was at 8 in the morning and we had to be there by 7 am to get good seats. We got up at 5 in the morning to get her ready and curl her hair.
The graduation was outside at the Honor Court stage. I really loved her campus! It is so beautiful and it was nice to be outside. (Cold, but nice!) They marched in so nicely and her homeroom was the 2nd room to graduate and walk across stage. Her teacher, which was her favorite teacher this year, announced their names so proudly, but when she got to Weegie's name she announced all the awards that Weegie had won! The audience gasped! Not because she won the most awards, but because she was the first student to walk across stage that won a lot of awards. (They did the same for all the students that won awards the night before.) Four students gave speeches, but there was one speech by a young lady that really touched me and she broke down while giving her speech. I also teared up at the beginning of Pomp and Circumstances.
After the ceremony we ran around and looked for some of her friends to take pictures. The above picture is of Maestro Rodriguez, he was Weegie's strings teacher for the last three years, and her overall favorite teacher! She loved being in his class and worked hard to keep her Violin 1 status. The veteran students of 2010 also presented him with a trophy that stated he was the BEST TEACHER EVER! He was wearing his shades because he didn't want the kids to see him with tears in his eyes. After the ceremony, Weegie's ex-boyfriend's mom came up to her and gave her a present. They are gardeners and she gave her a beautiful rose plant that can be planted in our yard. Weegie was really suprised because while she dated T, she thought the mom didn't like her. I think the mom realized all along what a nice girl Weegie is.
On Thursday night there was an awards ceremony at Weegie's school and only the 8th graders getting an award where invited. We were so proud that Weegie got an invitation and had no idea what award she would be winning. Well she won 5 awards!!! She got the gold presidential seal on her diploma, a trophy for a 3.5+ overall GPA in her 3 years at Frost. A trophy for Perfect Attendance in her overall 3 years at Frost. (She had 1 absence in her whole school career so far.) A certificate for Excellence in History and Algebra. (That means for 3 years she had AEE in those subjects.) She should have gotten one in English, but last year the teacher we didn't like gave her an S in English. (That's not why we didn't like her though.) The above picture she is with her principal, whom was also one of my teachers in middle school too. (It took me 2 years to realize that though. I always wondered why he looked familiar.)
Here she is with her daddy! (She is such a daddy's girl!) Hubby and I were talking about how Blessed we are to have such amazing children. They are all so smart, well behaved (in school) and friendly. (That includes Squiggler too.) Weegie has been giving us a little run for our money because she has turned 14 and a true teenager, but I have faith we will get through it! (It might be 5-6 years!) Thank you God for all that you have given us! Please continue to bless our family and help us to follow the paths in which you have chosen for us. May we make wise desicions as a family and with raising our girls. May we always show them the love that you show us and bring them up in a way where they know your presence is with us always.
