Joe got us all matching glasses for Michael's graduation. We all wore them after we dropped him off. We thought we would only have access to 4 tickets, and Nate didn't want to go, so we let him stay home. (We did end up with more tickets, but Nate still didn't care to go).
In the Spring, Michael tried out to speak at graduation. You have to write a speech, send it in and then give it to the administration, and then they pick the speaker from the students that try out. Michael did not get picked, but since he was friends with Dr. Povich, the principal, Dr. Povich asked if Michael would be willing to introduce all of the distinguished guests on the stage at graduation. He was happy to get to be at the podium.
When Michael got up and started talking, it suddenly hit Ellie that he was done and would be graduating soon. She started crying because she would miss him so much.
When everyone was done graduating, they all went off to talk to their friends and take pictures with their friends. Michael took off, and the next thing we know, he's off talking to his friend, the principal, Dr. Povich.
Graduation was held at the Woodlands Pavilion which has some blue lights outside, so all the pictures taken outside have weird coloring.
This was definitely a highlight of my life so far, I'm so proud of Michael and what he accomplished in high school.
