Having attended Amber's graduation on SAturday, I'm thinking how gratefful I am for an "achieving " family. Amber finished High School with a high GPA and a respectable list of activities. She has remained very much her own person in the process and has achievable big plans for the future.
Spring graduations and seeing the accomplishments of young people puts me in awe of all they can do.
Do not waste your time on earth; work hard, study hard, play hard at times, get to know God, make friends, be kind (even to jerks), travel, take a few reasoned chances, love deeply, and endure so that when you die you will have no regrets about what you did not do.
As a family we are "achievers". Among the Wilkins, Starks, Pearsons, Rysers, and Blaisdells we have no slackers, no delinquents, and no drop outs. We have university grads, high GPAs, high SAT's (Jonathan and Amber), missionaries (most recent; Comrade Justinksi with others coming up) , military (Courtney), personal strength ( Val & Mel), musicians, an artist (Brooke), two French speakers, strong mothers and integrity. The future is bright for us as long as we maintain and pass on our values.
