Rosalia's Graduation

Rosalia getting ready for the line up on Friday night.
This picture was taken right after the awards ceremony. Rosalia was the Salutatorian, she qualified for the Tops Honors program (one of only 11), she is a Regents Scholar, a Summa Cum Laude graduate, and she received Academic Endorsement status, and the Distinguished Athlete Award from the Marines and the Army Reserve Scholar Athlete Award.
Nana and Grandpa both came, but somehow my camera didn't get a picture of Grandpa.
After graduation with her proud parents who can't believe their baby has graduated! Here she is giving her speech which went very well. Her quote was from Alfred Montapert, "To accomplish great things we must first dream, visualize, plan, believe, and act."

Congrats Rosalia, on your graduation and scholarship to BYU. Mom and Dad soon will be empty-nesters! Crazy!

Congratulations Rosalia,
Who would have thought that we would share the same graduation date? I'm glad that the Badger legacy at DeRidder High ended with a bang. Good luck at BYU!

Congrats girl! What will DeRidder High do now without any Badger kids to outshine everyone in academics...sports...well, just about everything. You're the last of a legacy! :) I can't wait to hear about your time at BYU when you start this fall. I know you'll love it there...and suffice it to say everyone there will love YOU! See ya soon.

I´m sorry to use this as a message board, but my measurements email was returned to me, so I sent it again to Ted´s address (beauregard.org). I hope that´s okay!
