TommyLog – Never Stop Learning

Today I had the opportunity of participating in a mock interview process for some students at NWTC.  What a great experience that was. To be part of the process and to help with their learning and progression…amazing.

It was awesome to meet these kids, some of them were not kids–well some almost as old as I, and see they were still learning and growing and wanting to better their careers.

What  a blessing it was to be a part of that event.

Never stop learning!

TommyLog – Happy Endings take 2

[Lets try this again. Had editing issues with my first upload…sorry.]

Sometimes when you feel that your hard work will never pay off…well do not give up hope. There is a happy ending right around the corner. Good things happen to those who put in the time and sometimes that means they have to wait! Keep up the hard work!

Keep smiling.

TommyLog – Cultural Cuisine @FVTC @maddymrc

This weekend I had the opportunity to attending the Cultural Cuisine charity event hosted by the culinary students at Fox Valley Technical College. What an AWESOME EVENT.

Great music, awesome food and best of all, it was all for a super cause. All the money from the even goes to scholarships for the culinary program. Madeline was just so excited to have me come and see her in her element. She did not disappoint. I could not be more proud of her accomplishments!

TommyLog Seriously Jawbone?

Seriously Jawbone? I order 3 new end caps for my jawbone Up, which I LOVE LOVE LOVE and you ship the tiniest packet in such a huge box?

I’m no green zealot. I get that things happen, but WOW JUST WOW!! What a huge waste of packaging, space and resources.

You charged me $11.95 in shipping for this? Next time how about a plain white mailer and couple of first class stamps?

TommyLog – Clara’s Going to Nationals!!

You did it, You did it, YOU DID IT!! What an amazing accomplishment! You did IT!! To think here is little Clara in end of 6th grade, coming to mom and dad asking if she could join the dance team. “The dance team we thought?” You hadn’t taken any dance in your life. You didn’t’ even know any dance moves…at all. But you had a plan. You knew the extra time it would take; you knew you would need to study extra hard and at different times to make room for practice. You knew it would cost money and had a plan to pay for uniforms, costumes and competitions. Your practiced and practiced and practiced and as a member of Chuting Stars you rocked it. You couldn’t even do the splits or kick above your shoulder level, but look at you now? You rocked all the competitions and then JAM… you were the best in the state!

Now high school, you are a superstar inside and out. Your mind is top notch as well as your body. Top match, top GPA, top netflix watcher ☺

You tried out for the Little Chute High School dance team and made it!!! Competition after competition, we watched you get stronger and stronger. Kicks getting higher and higher. We watched you get grow from you little girl to you beautiful young lady.

Each and every time I watch you dance, I get teary. I know I’m a wimp, but the passion you have for dance shows and that’s why YOU ARE SO GREAT! I love being your dad and I love watching you soar!
Congratulations!!! I am so proud of you!

I LOVE YOU, Dad!
