Josiah Michael Malachi White, Class of 2020 Graduate.

The same little boy who used to jump off couches is about to jump into the world (just hopefully without breaking his arm this time).

That’s the thing about Jo, even at two years old, he was fearless. He has always lived in his own world with no limits, no stipulations, and absolutely no nonsense. Those big eyes and big dreams have carried themselves into adulthood. If Josiah has a vision for himself, he puts his head down and reaches it.

As the first person to ever make me feel old, watching Jojo put on a cap and gown certainly doesn’t make me feel any younger. And it certainly doesn’t feel like reality. All of the hours, miles, early mornings, and late-night Taco Bell runs went by too quickly. A great part of your life may be coming to an end, but I would bet that the best is right in front of you.

I love you, and I’m proud of you!
