Today was a new milestone in my daughter's life as she graduated from eight grade. I am a super proud mama and especially proud because she aced her finals and regents and got very good grades. She worked really hard on her honors classes, studied on weekends and evenings, and the hard work paid off. Next up in the fall is high school with new challenges and adventures.

| I'm so proud of you daughter! You worked hard and you aced it. You can do anything that you put your mind and effort into. Step by step you will conquer the world! |

| The President of the Board of Education gave some good advice to the graduating class in her commencement speech. One thing that especially resonated, was to not always follow your friends. Do what you like, try out different things, join clubs that interest you, even if your friends won't join with you. You will discover new things that you might be really good at, have fun and make new friends in the process. |
On this day we also had to say goodbye to our lovely au pair who had to leave to go back to Finland. What an awesome girl and we were so very lucky to have her in our family, and to get to know her. She definitely has a bright future ahead of her. She is very smart, very personable, down to earth, with great sense of humor, responsible, capable, and of course beautiful on the outside as well. We will miss her dearly!
