Wordless Wednesday: He Speaks!

by Ms. Latina

Big K, my 15 year old teen, was recently selected to speak at Columbia. I couldn’t have been prouder and YES I cried with joy as I watched my young man at the podium!

He looks a little nervous doesn’t he? But his voice didn’t quiver!

I made him smile for this picture ;)

While the panelists spoke, attendees enjoyed an amazing dinner with cake for dessert. My little one, Prince the 8 year old, loved the cake!

Afterwards, we were able to mingle. My other “son”, my little brother, also attended the event with us. Here he posed with Prince.

Below is a picture of Big K with Peggy. She organizes the events and coordinates the activities. She is great with kids and adults. My son adores her and so do I!

And last a few of the students who attended the summer “Youth About Business” program with Big K. It always amazes me how grown-up they look, while also delighting me to see this determined group of teenagers striving towards their future!

The accomplishments of the child reflect well upon the parent. You must be one of the best moms that ever was. :)
