This year has been one crappy year. Three broken toes, a tooth knocked out, and then, 2020, just in general so far. Yet, through all of it, your positive light has shone through. You have been able to find the good through it all.
I am so proud of the young man you are becoming. You have such a huge, caring heart. You are the best big brother a girl could ask for. You are reliable and responsible.
I'm so proud of you for trying, and excelling, at new things this year. You found a love for snowboarding. You were an office aide. You were chosen as a student presenter at the Made In Medina County Fair. You are taking on more responsibility at karate by teaching classes. You have a live app published in the Google Play store. These are huge accomplishments. You do all this while maintaining a 4.3 GPA.
This year is going to be a year of so many changes. First, it's a crazy year to begin with. Who would have thought there would be a global pandemic where you need to finish school online? In fall, you start high school, but we're still unsure of what that's going to look like. Whatever it is, we're pretty sure it won't be "normal". Whatever it is, though, you will be amazing. You are such a great student who loves to learn.
I truly wish this summer could be a "normal" summer where we go out and do all of the fun, wonderful things we do. However, the world has drastically changed in the past 3 months and we're living a new normal. You will make the best out of this summer because it's who you are. You will not look at all of the things we can not do, but you will appreciate all of the things we can do. I love that about you.
Even though I'm sad at the current state of our world, I'm excited to see what this year has in store for you. I know that what ever comes your way, you will do great things.
Don't ever forget who you are and remain true to that.
I love you forever.
