Jared is a Graduate

Officially Jared graduated from the Theodore P. Roofus Academy on May 12, 2023, the last day of our Spring vacation (just like Lance the year before).  However, unlike Lance, Jared wanted a big party.  Due to life and logistics we were unable to have the party till today.

Prior to today, Jared did celebrate graduating with his friend Lili and her family, who took them both out to lunch earlier in May.  If you want to go back even further, Jared has been graduated for a while.  This year all Jared really needed to complete was a course in Applied Life Mathematics and some reading.  I had already taught him all I could.  Frankly, the boy could teach most subjects (especially history) better than many college professors.  He's a sponge when it comes to learning and retaining what he's learned.

Back to today..... we set him up really well.  We had his party at the M-Family property.  We hid food and games at the Mary & Franks then picked them up on the way.  Jared and Lance stayed behind, for some cooked up reason so they could pick up the pizzas for the M-Family on their way over.  Lance said they were so surprised that there for so many pizzas to pick up (20 to be exact).  The K-Family brought all the decorations and helped make everything festive, so that when Jared came around the tree lined drive he knew he'd been bamboozled.  

Most everyone made it, at least for a little bit, the kids played wiffle ball (Jared's favorite sport), talked and ate.  We adults huddled in the shade eating, talking and playing some corn hole.  The day was everything Jared wanted and therefore a huge success.

Now Jared has the next four years to find his way in life.  Most people spend those years in college but for Jared it will be spent on his entrepreneurial projects:  his current channel J-Rod Studios Brickfilms (and maybe more channels), his brick model store (he hopes to release this fall) and what ever else his incredible imagination drives him to do.  To finance these endeavors for now he'll continue working as an instructor at the dojang which is a night job leaving his days open to work on all his dreams, till someday they all come true.
