This has been a milestone week for Joshua!
Last Sunday night, he graduated from Seminary which is a daily scripture study/spiritual instruction class that our church has for all teens in the 9th through 12th grades. Josh attended and participated all four years he was eligible to do so. Here he is with his Seminary graduation diploma after the graduation ceremony.
The weather cooperated and Thursday was not super hot (by Arizona standards). There was some cloud cover so we didn't have the setting sun in our eyes as we sat in the east (west facing) bleachers The evening was pleasant and there was even a cool breeze blowing as we watched these excited graduates walk onto the football field.
There was a gorgeous sunset that was a backdrop for the graduation speakers.
The score board honored the class of 2014.
There were about 450 seniors in the graduating class of 2014 at Josh's high school.
Josh is happy and excited to finally be finished with high school. He told me that while he had some good times in high school, his senior year was tough because his close friends were a year older than him and had already graduated. He said there were days when he felt like he had no friends at high school this past year. Nevertheless, he persevered and graduated with a decent, B-average GPA. He never got a D or F in any class. He never had to repeat a class. He never got in trouble or had any discipline issues. He took a full load of classes all four years. The first three years, he also took online classes at home in addition to his full school day. He attended his scripture study (seminary) class every day, unless he was home sick.
Congratulations to Joshua!
We are as proud of and pleased with him as we could possibly be!
