Moving up!

Congratulations to all of our applicants!!! By now, you've all had your moments in your caps and gowns to receive your high school diplomas!

Graduation, as with any other big moment in life, is bittersweet when you've experienced the losses you have, and I wish I could give each and every one of you a big hug (along with a scholarship). While you may feel alone in a sea of moms and dads with their kids, be assured you're not alone. As witnessed it all of the applications we received this year, you're in good company. While that fact is heartbreaking, sometimes it helps to know there are so many more like you. If you can find a way to connect with those others, grab that opportunity - it's surprisingly comforting to be with those who understand on the same level that you do. (Hint: The Run for Row 5K is a good start...)

You should all be very proud of yourselves and your accomplishments thus far; and theres so much more to look forward to!
