Well, tonight was the night. We went to the high school and watched Leah be inducted into the National Honor Society. We were so very happy for her and proud of her for her accomplishment. Each of the current members of the NHS came forward and introduced two of the new members for this year. Leah sat toward the front - second row, on the right - far end.
At the appointed time, they announced her contributions to the school in terms of Wind Symphony, Marching Band and the school pride award she received a couple of months ago for her work at the school (Leah tutors other students in English each day). Leah marched across the stage, signed the log book, and lit her candle in the centerpiece (there were four candles on the center table that stand for: Service, Scholarship, Character and Leadership plus the one candle (in the center) used by each new inductee to light their own. Parents were asked to stand as "their" student was announced and we were happy to do so when Leah was announced. I sent pictures (screen captures) to all the family Ceiva's tonight so our extended family could see some of the proceedings. When I have time, I will edit the proceedings into a video DVD.
A reception was held in the cafeteria. We decided to leave shortly after so we could celebrate with Leah in a private dinner (Olive Garden - her second choice because Fudd's won first place - but sadly was closed by the time we got there). As we were walking out of the building, Leah smiled and laughed and said ... "now I am officially smart!" (as she pinned her NHS pin to her blouse. ;o)
It was an enjoyable evening. Wish you could have been there. Hope you get to see the pictures soon. I'll try to get them up on the web site too.
Best regards,
Jerry

About Me
- Jerry
- Born in Memphis, TN many moons ago. Educated at East High School and Christian Brothers University in the mysteries of Electrical Engineering. Married for 36 years this year to the same lovely lady with three beautiful children. Lived in LA, WV, IN, IL and essentially all-over TX (well, at least on business trips). Love my family deeply, feel very blessed by God (more than I deserve) and appreciative of all the friends I have made in this life! My first car was a Chevy II Nova (in upper right of my picture) - one of the first Nova's of this type made. It had a straight 230 cu in six and Torque Drive. Torque Drive meant it had no clutch but you still had to shift it from first to second when starting out (second to third was automatic). Very unique car. I loved it! Now I have a Mustang GT (going on 19 yrs old) given to me by my wonderful wife and it is still a blast. I now have a new daughter - the beautiful lady my son married! So thankful for all my family!
