On May 29th of 2008, I had the pleasure of experiencing something that unfortunately, far too many of us do not get a chance to witness in this day and age anymore. My kid "graduating Winter Park high school!" How cool is that? 800 plus kids that accomplished the dream. It was awesome. And even though our son is very intelligent, if it were not for his mother, my incredible wife Mary, who knows if this would have taken place in the time and manner that it did.
One of the main reasons for the low graduation rates in this country today is, the non involvement of too many parents in their childrens lives period. Far too many kids have NO guidance or support from their parents or other family members. If your kids are still in school, start pitching in with their lives and education. Then, maybe YOU will get to participate in this most gratifying and satisfying event.
Peace, Love and Promise to the Class Of '08, Winter Park High
