Every year Little Elm High School honors the top 10 graduates with a very nice dinner. They ask the parents of these honored students to write a little something on them to share with the others present. Here's what I said about our Nick....
Since Nicholas was very young, his grandfather would tell the boys time and time again, “Boys, I want you to be Christian Scholar Athletes - in that order”! Nicholas has become just that. He has excelled scholastically, competed honorably and most importantly valued his walk with Jesus Christ. His love of learning, nurtured by a God-given curiosity, has served him well. He is a gifted athlete, coachable and hard working.
He is at times a philosopher, a competitor, a theologian, an editor for his mother, “Max” where the “Wild Things Are”, the artful Dodger, a race-car driver, a knight in shining armor, and sometimes a junk-food-eating, George-Lopez-watching, messy-roomed-teenager. But he is always a loving son, intuitive to those around him and grounded in a solid foundation built on love, laughter, wisdom and honesty.
Ralph and I are extremely blessed and honored to be his parents. He is a loving son, a giving brother and most importantly he is a man of integrity, purpose and passion. He has brought honor to himself, his family and his future. Nick’s motto is:“Stat Fortuna Domus”, or “The fortune of the House Stands”. Nick, you are our fortune, our victory of great value, and we love you very much. Thank you! Truckloads of “Red M & M’s”!
