WX Student of the Month

This kid!  He's amazing!

I got an email a few days ago that our student had been selected as a Student of the Month.  When I asked Isaac about it, he had NO idea what that was about!  Mat took him this morning for the breakfast and recognition, and he was, in fact, on the program.  :)

Mat recorded the audio of what his AP Psych teacher said, so I've transcribed it and I am including it here.  Sometimes we just need a little reminder about how remarkable we really are!

"I have had the pleasure of teaching Isaac last year and this year.  Isaac is one of those kids that is kind of quiet in class, so you don’t really get to know him right away.  But when he opens up and starts to talk, he is wise beyond his years.  I had to look at all my students and decide who I was going to choose this year.  He’s chosen to take AP Psych this year, and we’ve had some tough discussions in class.  He’s had some tough breaks in his life, one just starting at the beginning of the school year.  Despite that, he’s working hard, he’s there everyday in class contributing in ways that a lot of students can’t.  I really appreciate that about Isaac.  I have two little boys and I always think, gosh, I hope my kids are like that kid, and I hope my kids have the qualities that kid does.  In group discussions, he’s able to open up with his quiet attentiveness and his knowledge.  He’s got a deeper knowledge, he’s a very well read person.  I really appreciate that about him and think he’s an amazing student and worthy of many achievements."

This totally made my day!  He is such a great guy, we're very proud of him!  We love you lots Isaac!
