Late last night Brett posted on Facebook that he was elected Governor of his house in the dorm. I was thrilled to read that post. Brett has adjusted to college life so much more quickly than I had ever imagined. I know that other students were running for that position as well, so I realize that he has worked to meet people and establish himself as a leader already.
Ever since I can remember Brett has wanted to be Governor of Indiana. Maybe this is the first step towards that goal. Or maybe he will find that being a servant to the people is not all that he thought it would be. I have always envisioned him being a write or a professor. This could push him in those directions or stay right on course. No matter what the biggest joy so far of being a parent is watching them fly away, confident and ready to take on the world. It is scary and I miss Brett everyday, but so proud of the young man that he is striving to be and the responsibilities that he is undertaking.
