Carissa and Nathan's closing ceremony from school was this past Tuesday evening. It was an evening full of recognition and fellowship.
Carissa received her Blue Book Assessment, which she had to write some essays on different topics. These were timed essays. Her tutor's remarks to her were, "Good use of essay structure and interesting points ." This assessment reminds me show they assessed children in school a century ago. What did they do before the scan tron test?
She was given a Certificate for Academic and Character Excellence. She received academic excellence in Latin, Biology, and British Literature. Her character excellence was for responsibility. Her tutor recognized how every Monday morning she woke up at 4:30am to get to class by 8:20. Her tutor said, here is a student who not only woke up early every Monday, but always managed to have all of her homework done every week (which is a whole lot of work, think of a college workload, and I am not exaggerating). Her tutor mentioned how she has daily chores of taking care of animals and making dinner every night too.
Nathan's tutor did not recognize each individual student. He just did a general recognition in his speech.
We are so happy for Carissa and Nathan. We are pleased with their growth as children of our Lord and Savior. We ( parents) are stewards of what the Lord has entrusted to us. It is our job to raise them up in all knowledge of spiritual and intellect. The time will come for us to shoot them out as arrows from a quiver. That time will be here soon. Lord, I pray that they always glorify, and worship you in all that they do. Amen
