Top of the class March 30, 2006
You stood up when your name was called, a mixture of surprise and gladness on your face. You did not expect this, although you had hoped it would be so and it was. We clapped and urged you on. Overcome by shyness, you did not look at us but proceeded to your rightful place, buoyed by our cheers.
You basked in the spotlight of our praise. You delighted in the acclamation of your peers. You are undoubtedly the best of them all.
My son, I’m proud of you. Congratulations.
(Dylan completes first grade with first honors. The first grade teacher called out one by one the pupils in the honors list during a get-together this morning in school. School closing rites will be this Saturday at 4 p.m.)
