Christiana Hannam, Booker T. Washington Magnet

Dear Christiana,

    I experience helpless to put in words the honor you deserve. Information technology is like honoring a rose for beingness fragrant and cute. How does one actually say that?

    How practise you take 4 classes in a year and walk away with a 100 in each of them? You lot have been then honoring of your teachers, coaches, parents and the very life in your hands.

    Later Mom died when yous were four, I asked her dr. why he had been willing to be available to her 24/7/365 for two years, as she battled to live and be with us. He responded, "It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." He felt then honored and inspired by Mom, and the love in our family, that he returned (and multiplied) the honor.

    This is what I see in y'all: A very capable and gifted immature woman who runs the race to win; not to vanquish others but to deliver yourself wholly and honestly to the course in front of y'all. That is a profound gift of honor to every teacher, friend and relative that sowed into your life; and to yourself. You deserve honor.

    Beyond your splendid mind; your athletic talent; your beautiful conscience; your respect of those who take gone before, gone with and are coming after; your emotional balance; your fascination with learning; your delight in the quirky; your genuine dear; and a very mature wisdom; you possess more.

    You lot take a unique and special "vocal" within y'all. You possess a spiritual life, wholeness and joy that undergirds it all. It opens your eyes and heart to all the wonder and mystery around usa. Information technology has been built-in and nurtured as yous have said "Yep," again and again, to the 1 who made you. You have said "Yes," to what Dr. Starks at BTW recorded in her song for the 2020 grads: "Meant to Be."

    Concussions took away much of what yous hoped to enjoy in High School. A fire stole your school. A budget stole your magnet. A pandemic chopped information technology all off early on. And the Life within y'all arose again.

    I often bow my head with a peachy shame for what my generation is handing off to yours; but there is goose egg more hopeful in the world to me than to watch you find, encompass, and manifest joy with such a commitment to excellence.

   It is a neat joy to be your dad — to love you more than each twenty-four hour period — and to let yous go — trusting God and trusting y'all with this precious life.

    Congratulations for a grade well run. BTW Strong. "Christiana:" All-powerful I.

Malachi Morris, Thou.W. Carver

Malachi,

    Your graduation is a milestone and day we take envisioned for many years. On the showtime twenty-four hours of each schoolhouse year I would always say it's getting closer and smiled. My smile was in anticipation of your graduation twenty-four hour period. I cried the first day I dropped you off at Westward Jasper Unproblematic schoolhouse for your offset 24-hour interval of Pre-K even though it was simply half a twenty-four hours. How information technology bankrupt my centre to leave you in the care of someone else, but I prayed for your protection. Past your offset mean solar day of kindergarten, you would have thought I had gotten used to dropping y'all off yet again, I was crying. Even in one case you made it to get-go and 2d grades and all the way to fifth grade, I nevertheless dropped y'all off with a lump in my throat. When we transitioned to Montgomery, in the middle of your 5th-grade twelvemonth all the fears of dropping you lot off at schoolhouse came once again as if it was the first time. I sent you off to catch the schoolhouse bus, you assured me everything was fine. Took a picture, said I love you and you were off, showing me, yous could do this without me. And with every milestone that comes throughout simple school, middle school, high schoolhouse, there remained a lump in my throat. I have e'er anticipated graduation twenty-four hours.

    Crazy thing my handsome son, I think I have cried more than your first day of your senior year than any other day of all your school years. I watched you walk abroad from the auto over a meg times before but this time a million memories came rushing. The day y'all were born, your first birthday, your kickoff words, your start school dance, your first football game, so many memories. But this was your commencement day of your final year of school. Y'all were no longer the one to make certain I was OK, or the one guarding my bed when I was sick or my "pain in the barrel." You were now becoming a immature man.

    The countdown begun, and although many memories of your senior year take been taken abroad, this is one that — although dissimilar from the traditional  —will still remain a very memorable one. We are extremely proud of the young man you take become. You take taught us many lessons along the fashion. Keep to make u.s. proud. Our tears are complicated, these tears you see aren't tears of sorrow but tears of joy, excitement, and anticipation and of the purest love any human tin can ever know.

Congratulations to y'all son, and the Class of 2020.

Love,

Mom and Dad!

Shawna Brown, Brewbaker Technology Magnet

Shawna,

    Y'all were made for greatness and God has big plans for Y'all. You ARE a Promise with a Capital 'P'. When I found out I was pregnant with you lot, information technology was September 10, 2001, the mean solar day earlier the world stopped turning, the day before ix/eleven. Beingness built-in into a Military family unit, that meant you were built-in into a world of "when, not if," equally we lived with the possibility of a deployment, as we faced the everyday never knowing when orders would drop. We nigh lost you to RSV as a baby. The nurses told united states you were the happiest sick baby they had ever seen. Being the youngest sibling to two children with special needs added another layer of unique circumstances to your globe. You grew up with a deeper level of compassion, of seeing those who need help more than others. Your childhood was surrounded with those who most of the world sees equally broken, disabled, or only doesn't see at all. At the precious age of 10 years one-time, we watched and cried equally yous lost your best friend to cancer, completely helpless to protect you from grief at such a young age. You take faced bullying issues, betrayals by those you thought were your friends. Your sophomore year brought that deployment nosotros knew would someday come, and you had to accommodate to life without your daddy, your hero.You fought hard and take overcome many personal trials and challenges over the years. We have watched with awe as you gave upward Saturdays to volunteer equally a buddy for Miracle League baseball, and heard stories of you helping a classmate who is blind. Your choices over the years for community service credits for Bridge Builders take been connected to the Special Needs community, and to the needy — loving on those that many choose non to run across.

    You take given upwardly so much over the years, and nosotros wish with ALL that nosotros are, that nosotros could give you lot back your senior yr, your prom, graduation, and the seemingly simpler moments that y'all ache for. The signing of yearbooks, the saying goodbye to love teachers, staff and friends. Your senior year ended without closure or goodbyes, with a whimper instead of a whirlwind of milestones and celebrations, with a mixture of heartbreak, sadness, hope, and pride. Your name means God's gracious gift, and on the solar day before the world stopped turning, God gave us you, a reason to promise in the darkness. You are our sunshine, nosotros are proud of you. Get chase your dreams, stay gold, and as you spread your wings, know that nosotros will always exist your biggest fans.

We love you Ever,

Mom and Dad
