--3 celebrations including Honors Awards Assembly, Class Day, & "Graduation"
--Same 50 names read, cheered for, paraded on stage for all attendees to honor
--Because Carson got a 33 on the ACT, he was amongst a group of 75 celebrated, but their names were not read
--Unfortunately, during the Honors ceremony, the moderator accidentally "SKIPPED" Carson's elect group to stand
--Nobody NOTICED--NOBODY really cared how much effort was offered for this accomplishment
--Ironically, Carson's seemingly "best friend" from elementary school sat in front of us. This kid has NEVER acknowledged Carson's existence since Carson began ticking in 4th grade, I witnessed Carson congratulate him during this ceremony for his many awards and the student barely tolerated Carson's existence.
--Even though the mother & father of this boy and I about 10 years ago used to be neighbors and had several deep conversations, the mother also barely acknowledgages my presence. I gave up a few years ago even engaging in conversation with her as it became too painful.
--I don't blame or hold grudges; simply need to save my emotional energy for supporting Carson and my own family
--Prior to attending the Honors Award Ceremony, I repeated the words "Don't OVER EXAGERRATE--"Don't OVER EXAGERRATE--"Don't OVER EXAGERRATE--"Don't OVER EXAGERRATE--
--Only 45 minutes of witnessing the SAME group of kids receiving HIGH ACADEMIC awards wasn't torture, but provided a feeling of great HOPE for the future
--We celebrated Carson at a yummy GELATO restaurant PACIUGO
