It Made Me Cry!!

[Janet]

While my son has been gone, I cleaned out his school back-pack. I know, he should do it, but he doesn't mind. I'm not doing it to be nosey, I just don't want it to be any heavier than it has to be.

Anyway, there was an essay he had to write about himself and some of the things in it melted my heart. Here are a few excerpts:

"I like where I live because I can do anything I want and feel safe, like 4-wheeling, biking, walking in the woods or just hanging out with my parents or friends".

"One of my pet peeves is when people don't shower and they smell."

"One thing I like about myself is that I am always nice, because if you're nice to people, they will be nice to you."

"The worst decision I've made so far is not working more at the Flower Shop. I think I should have worked more, because I need money to buy a car."

The three most important people in my life are my mom, dad and my grandmother. My mom is most important because she listens to what I have to say and doesn't make me feel like my ideas or thoughts are wrong. My dad is important to me because he teaches me to work on cars and he is really funny. My grandma is import to me because she let's me know she loves me".

"I would like to be able to talk more than I do. I'm kind of quiet and shy, so I hope I can overcome this".

He really gave some thought to this and well, I just love this guy to pieces!!!!!
Such a great young man!!!!
