Lincoln received the Gold Scholar Award at the Junior High Awards Assembly this week. Students who earn this have to have a 3.8 or higher grade point average. Junior High can be difficult at best and yet Lincoln has made it a point to have a positive experience. He has some great friends, he participated in the orchestra and was on the track team. Along with his regular school work he took an on-line class so he could learn to speak German. As if he didn't have enough going on in his life--he made it a goal to earn his Eagle Scout award before his 14th birthday--and he did it. May I just say he is very committed and accomplished an incredible amount of things in the last year. I believe that Lincoln has the gift of being visionary. He looks ahead and asks himself, "What can I do to accomplish good things in my life?" Then he starts moving forward checking off one project after another until the work is done. Lincoln is a young man in a canoe with both oars in the water--and he is definitely going somewhere! Proud of your accomplishments Lincoln. I am pretty sure there will be many more impressive achievements in the coming years. Keep up the good work.
Lincoln is pretty awesome.
