Congratulations!!!!!!

Today, Amanda got the "go ahead" to walk in graduation!!! All of her teachers signed off on her requirements for graduation!

We began this year with the awful realization that the previous guidance counselor at her school had made an error; and she was lacking several classes that she needed to graduate as a Junior. That didn't deter Amanda for one second. She buckled-down and got to work. Even when we learned that these were two semester classes and she'd have to basically double her work-load, she didn't quit. She had a full-schedule of classes during the day and a full-load of on-line classes. Through it all, she's managed to do her very best in every class.
Class-mates and a few teachers have doubted her resolve. They've discouraged her and put her down. Thankfully, she's had the encouragement and support of some outstanding educators, an AWESOME guidance counselor, friends, family, and a loving Heavenly Father. Now look at our girl!!!!

Next week at this time,
Mandy will be a
High School GRADUATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never seen anyone work with such determination and resolve. She's doubted herself occasionally, but never given up! I don't think I've ever been so proud in my life!!!

Way to go, Mandy!!!!!!
