Daniel, you made it!

Dear Daniel,

You are officially finished with another year of school. It’s been a big year for you with many milestones and academic excellence.

You are a trusted and beloved friend. You even stay in touch with friends and relatives in Texas.

You take your priesthood responsibilities seriously and I love having discussions with you about the scriptures.

You’re a great ball player. You learned great sportsmanship and showed honor on the field, despite some disappointment.

We don’t have many photos of you because you’re often one step ahead of the rest of us! You have an adventurous spirit.

You outgrew our homeschool group, but you were a good sport and came to support me when I taught art class. You’re a great artist.

Grandpa John would be proud of you in golf.

Someday I hope to hear your piano composition performed by a bell choir. It would be perfect played on bells.

You did it! You earned a place on one of the front pianos in your concert.

You’re a great Boy Scout. Remember how you rescued that woman’s glasses in this pool beneath the waterfall?

You worked on family history and helped find some names for temple work.

It was good to see you in the temple this year.

You were a great assistant when I taught science class.

I think your best subject this year was math. You read around 50 books, did research papers about George Washington and James Madison, and continued to volunteer at the community pond. You achieved the rank of First Class in Scouting, and your Lego engineering still amazes us. I know you’re growing up and you don’t want a lot of attention, but I hope you know that we are so proud of you. XOXOXOXOXOX -Mom
