For the 5th grade graduation they always pick two middle school students to come back to the intermediate school and talk about what middle school was like.
As the room filled up I could see Colin start to get more nervous. He didn't realize what a big deal it was to come and speak. I had seen his 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Smith, at Joel's awards ceremony and told her that Colin was going to be speaking so she got someone to cover her class and came and watched. She said in all her years she had never gone to the 5th grade graduation but Colin was so special to her she wanted to go watch. She was the teacher who fought hard with me for Colin to get into speech in 4th grade. I was so proud of Colin. He did great.
