So, yesterday I got a letter inviting Josh to honors night at school to recognized his accomplishments this year. I was a little taken aback because he isn't in the honors program, and isn't in honor society. So, I ask him and he doesn't know. Quite frankly I thought it was sent to him on accident...lol. The only thing I could think of is that he has jumped significantly in his grade point average since the fall. We have worked our butts off this year and I am sooooo proud of him. The last two quarters he has just kicked butt...lol. So, I called the school this morning to see if we were sent the letter on purpose...lol, and they said yes. Josh has been nominated by two teachers for an award!!! I am so excited and proud of him. This will be such a boost to his self-esteem and prove to him that he can do everything with hard work. I can't tell you how good it is to see him recognized...after all the years of feeling stupid and worthless, this will be so good for him. Just wanted to share the news with you all.

We went to Honors Night last night and it was great. Josh was honored by the English Department for bringing his grade point up from 1.5 in English the first quarter, to a 4.0 the last two quarters. He was surprised because he thought it was for bringing up his math grade (which he was also nominated). He also was honored for being the Sophomore Student Councel Treasure. But, the best part for me was him watching the Seniors getting there honors cords to wear on graduation day. He said "I'm going to get those cords when I'm a Senior!" The whole night gave him a boost and has motivated him to achieve that goal.
