Congratulations

I haven’t posted in a long while. There has been so many changes and it has been an emotional few months

Samuel started high school 4 years ago. I am not afraid to say that my expectation of when Samuel will receive his high school diploma was based on his state at that time. My expectation was low:). Samuel’s learning started years behind his age group… so i thought. Samuel entered grade 9 at a grade 5 level….so, my thought was that he will graduate with his brother (currently in grade 9)..

I have realized that setting expectation for Sam based on what i think he is able to learn and absorb, is total disadvantage for him. In the last few years, I have learnt to support Samuel at his level. When we started grade 9, I knew Samuel will be in school till 21..21 is the max graduation age for peraon living life with a developmental dissability. Amazingly…..

Samuel is getting his high school diploma this year. Samuel is graduating with those he started grade 9 with. Samuel made me joyful eat my words. He is set to go to college next year (’25) and i am in awe at his progess. No matter how many times we stumbled or even fall, somehow, God has never been tired of guiding us towards this end reault. I am in awe at the amount of dedication Sam has put towards his school work, house chores and even his growth still makes me speechless.

As graduation approches, the emotions are flooding in. Samuel is college focused. He is college bound. He has been talking about it and planning hard towards living on campus. ..i am NOT ready. Samuel will take a year to participate in co-op oppourtumities and then off he goes to college. My baby is growing

This year in general has been an amazing year for Sam. He went to his first dance, prom is in a week…..i am really not ready…..

But Samuel do not care one bit 🙂 He continue to create his own path and journey.

Samuel, Iam proud of you. CONGRATULATUONS and more to come.

  1. What God cannot do does not exist, however Samuel has the best friend, advocate, and mother. You are such a great mum and sis you know I tell you all the time – you are my shero!!!

  2. Congrats to Sam and the entire family. I am wowed by his sense of mission and accomplishments and wish him many more feats as he prepares for college. His enviable progress beyond doubt reinforces that most of the LIMITS that we lament as mortals only exist because we allow them to live rent free in our minds.
    Once again kudos to Sam and thanks to the beautiful family that God has blessed him with. I believe with immutable faith that greater testimonies lay ahead for him and the whole family.
