Hey Kids it’s Dad and for today’s Tommy log I want to talk to you about Clara’s senior scholarship dinner. Every year Little chute high school, and Little Chute Career Pathways Academy have an end of the year scholarship dinner. This year’s dinner was amazing. There were over 70 scholarships given out during the 3 hour program. Scholarships ranging from $250 all the way up to full four-year ride scholarships were given out. Clara walked away with seven scholarships. What an amazing proud Dad moment.
Congratulations Clara and congratulations to all the award winners. What an all star group and and remember kids that hard work pays off!!
Hey kids, It’s Dad and for todays TommyLog I want to share some thoughts and feelings about my 30th High School Reunion. This is a bit longer than my normal videos, but i have so many friends and memories that I wanted to mention one by one. I am so blessed to know and be friends with each and every one of these GREAT people. My heart is full! THANK YOU all helping shape me and make me smile…and at times cry. My heart is full!
At my local gym the other morning, doing what I do best at 5:30 in the morning… working out. *Cough* I like to workout in the area which is called the cardio theater. They always have a movie playing. The movie that was playing this day was a movie about high school reunions. I usually listen to music so I don’t pay much attention, but it looked kind of interesting.
Made think about my high school experience in the people I had met. I have been away from high school for well over 25 years and I think about the people who were my friends in high school and those who were not. I didn’t run in the circle with the jocks or the theater folk; I was considered more of a geek because I was in the AV club. DO NOT JUDGE!
Which brings me back to my 25th high school reunion. I remember showing up and all the guys that were jocks are now burnouts, literally. The guy that comes to mind ran a pizza place on the beach and after talking to him it was clear that there’s more going into his system then just pizza dough and pepperoni’s.
With the advent of Facebook many of my high school friends that I had lost touch with for years and years are now closer than ever. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I’m not sure. Though the miles separate us the technological divide has brought us closer together. But it’s interesting how many people are my friends now who wouldn’t give me the time of day back in 1986. Makes you think!
What you think about your high school reunions. Do you go to them? Do people treat you differently?
Madeline graduates today and I’m just full. Full of pride, love and of course tears for the moment. I’m such a sap and I know it but watching your oldest end her public school career is something just amazing and I’ll get to see it first hand tonight.
I can not wait to see what comes next. The sky’s the limit here Madeline and I love you so much!
WOW, what a great week. I have a new high school senior as well as a new kindergarden’er. What a life and I LOVE Watching my kids grow. I hate seeing them grow, you know what I mean…it’s amazing to watch them progress and I wish only the best for them!
