Getting Ready To Leave The Nest

You are special and so very talented,

half the battle is knowing what you want to do

I hope you never waste it

or think it is that easy for everyone.

I think the profession that you have picked is very admirable, and you are great at helping others,

Whatever you do it will be awesome, terrific, a professional person,

Today, you are a very handsome looking man.

The eyes of your baby sister,

You have another pair of eyes looking at you,

Don't forget this Mister Joe.

Remember, you set the example for the younger ones,

She looks up to you so do it right,

You are getting ready to leave childhood,

going on to college, you are so blessed

with a exceptional mind, it came so easy.

You are my first grandson. When you were born in July,1997 you had 3 other grandparents beside me and grandpa. Somehow even though one was young, grandma Linda, they all passed away. Remember that they especially Linda, would be so proud of you. I don't believe you know how proud they would have been of you. I have 2 more grandson's I hope they all do as good as you.

Parents work hard to get there kids through school. Some kids require more help then others. Joseph has always been a good student and it seems to come easy for him. I believe if they are doing good leave them alone.

Some kids require a push and a lot of encouragement. If you can't help your kid if he is having a hard time sometimes it is better to find a tutor. Not every child can fly though homework. All kids are different and need our respect.

The feeling is great when you see your family all together to watch the graduation. I had a hard time seeing but it did not matter. The diploma is in his hand, and that's all that really matters. I really enjoyed the ceremony and the way it moved along. I think Joe is ready to move on and start his new future.

Every new College student will need a computer. It does not have to be new it can be refurbished. The computer is very important. You can not get much done in today's world without one. With all the online classes we have to day it would be very hard to do anything without a computer.

I have found out the Dell Computer can last for years if it is taken care of. My Dell is 6 years old and is still going strong. I try and keep it well maintained and it is very smooth running.

A book bag or backpack is a great gift for any student going away to school. Studying is what its all about, so this makes a good gift. I especially like this one because it is very sturdy and is made from canvas. The stitching and sewing are very good. This should last because of the way it is made.

It is harder now than when my kids were in school. I do not mean the school work as much as I see kids being so stressed out. The school is more into cloths, styles, and the new phone. I am grateful for the good kids I see and all those who are graduating from the 2016 class.Good Luck to all.
