Congratulations, Allen!
You are a high school graduate!
Today, I had the honor of attending Allen’s graduation party.
What an honor to celebrate such a meaningful milestone with Allen, his parents, his sisters, and other instrumental people in their lives.
Allen started at Bringing Therapy Home when he was in 4th grade. To think that we have had the privilege of watching his growth through 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade feels extraordinary. How did we become so fortunate to get this kind of time with one of the most amazing humans?!
Allen is the person who will sit with you, engage in conversation, answer your questions, look through your pictures, and genuinely listen as you share stories. He makes people feel valued and connected because of the kind of listener he is.
He will share every fact he knows about the Kansas City Chiefs and share insight from the games. He is their number one fan!
He is also one of the hardest-working individuals I know. Allen’s growth did not happen by chance. It reflects the determination, persistence, and effort he has put in day after day, year after year. He keeps trying, keeps learning, and keeps showing up. And it shows!
Because Allen is a triplet, it was also beautiful to see him celebrating with his sisters. In the fall, his sisters will head off to college in different states while Allen continues his journey here at home.
Every path is unique and every milestone deserves to be celebrated. His parents have taught us that.
We are simply so proud of you, Allen!
You are AMAZING!
Congratulations!
