Today we celebrated Cameron's achievements at his elementary awards program. He was honored for outstanding attendance and received a trophy for earning 100 points in Accelerated Reader. I am proud of him. Not so much for the hardware he received, but more so for his ability to carve his own way in life.
It is challenging to be the youngest in a family of achievers. Cameron, not only has to be successful in life, but he has to do it in his own way. By attending a different elementary than his siblings, participating in chess tournaments and learning to be a goalie in soccer, Cameron has been able to stand out from his brothers and sisters and to earn his own rewards. He has also learned to be a gracious loser, which is an extremely important life skill.
So as he held up his trophy today for me to take a picture, I celebrated with him. He has worked hard to earn his reward. I hope he continues to make his own way in life. He has five other Heinisch's cheering him on.
