Pomp and Circumstance

So happy, proud, bitter sweet with emotions from tonights NSTHS graduation. Funny how the class Valedictorian said it..."this is an end to the beginning of of future".....So true! We are so proud Stephen 5 years ago made the choice to attend NST with the hopes of getting in. Yes it is a school that you have to test into and have the grades and reason to go there. One of the guest speakers stated that in Massachusetts there are over 1500 students on waiting lists to attend Voc schools. He excelled immensely there and we are so happy he took this route instead of a conventional HS. Don't get me wrong our town HS is a wonderful one and we initially made the choice to move to this town for the school system and small town feel. Also we did miss seeing the kids that he started with in Kindergarten way back when graduate also. We also feel that the past 4 years at NST we have formed a new family. We also get to stay apart of the NST family with Ryan. SO happy he has taken the NST road following in his brothers footsteps but making his very own unique path. SO grateful that not only does he have a HS diploma but also a Journeymans Cert also. Not many HS grads can come out with the ability to say they can be an electrician day one out of HS> We are happy he wants to study the engineering aspect of the electrical field as well. So he takes away NST the blue collar end of the field to apply it to the white collar design of it and that there people you could not get at a town school. We couldn't be more proud and still after all the chairs are put away and caps and gowns returned I still think he is my baby! my lil baby born on Jan 30th 1993.....it is like maybe 1996 right now in my mind lol lol I still have a lil 3 year old right???????
