valediction
this is a moment of pride for me, so if you want to know more, then read on.
i just found out about two hours ago that my little sister, the baby of the family, is the valedictorian of her high school graduating class. Kline Swonger has received top marks and honors for her efforts, which she has worked hard for (she will deny it though). She graduates from North Hollywood High School (class of 2004) next Tuesday 29th of June. unfortunately i will not be able to attend the ceremony, due to the high price of airline tickets between Australia and North America. however, if you read this between now and then, get yourself to the ceremony to clap and cheer when they announce her name. i am so excited for her. i guess i feel similar to how catholics feel when a member of their family decides to become a priest or nun in the church= automatic entry to heaven. not that i figure i am getting into heaven, i just expect an invitation to celebration in the next few years when my sister wins the noble prize. seriously, now that she is the valedictorian of her high school, what is preventing her from receiving the noble prize? plus, the best part for me, is bragging rights. i am so stoked, if you can't tell already.
