Last night I attended the Olympus Graduation ceremonies and handed out diplomas to the graduates. One of my young women, Jessica Huber, gave one of the speeches and did a great job! I was so proud of her! I was able to hand Jessica her diploma and I gave her a big hug! It was fun! I love it when I actually know some of the kids that I'm giving the diplomas to. I've known Jessica and her family since she was a little toddler and she is one of my favorites! It was funny because after I gave Jessica her diploma (and hug) a bunch of the boys from our ward names were called off and I went to hand them their diplomas, they grabbed the diploma so fast, shook my hand quickly and practically ran across the stage. I realized that I kinda freaked them out by giving Jessica a hug and they were afraid I might try and hug them too. Afterwards, I asked one of them if that is why they ran by me so quickly and he said, "Yeah! I was so nervous!" Ha! Ha!
There are only a few perks that come with being a school board member and this is one of my favorite, participating in the Jr. High graduation ceremonies and handing out the diplomas.
