{awards}

Wyatt received an award at the end of the school years assembly. It was not for honor roll or attendance but something rather special. An award a mother will be proud of for years to come. The principle announced that the next award was very important. She said that there was an amazing story behind each child who received it. Then Wyatt's teacher continued to say that the students who received this award had been through some difficult times and had overcome their trials with a determination to succeed! He said that they never gave up despite the bumps in the road. Then I cried as the first of only 3 students called was Wyatt!! He had a rough year with trials that would have knocked down some adults but he kept on. He found a solution got through those trials and right back on track! I am SO proud of my baby and all that he has accomplished in his life. The pride in Wyatt's eyes when he realized his teacher was giving him recognition for something he learned inside was, for me as his mother, worth more than all the honor roll awards he could have! He gained more than just the knowledge that was in his books this year.....he gained wisdom, strength and determination! A priceless education!
