Graduates

Once a Little graduates from Shelterwood we are allowed to post pictures and use their real names. I don't know that there is a ton to say other than it takes a lot to graduate from this program. I have never posted pictures of graduates and would like to take a moment to honor those who have graduated since I have arrived. I will start with today's graduate and work my way back in time. It gets tricky finding pictures of only them that don't have other Littles in them!

Today, one of my Littles graduated. Rachel, better known as Frenzy, graduated Shelterwood today. I am so proud of her and am honored to have roomed with her and gotten to know her. She is amazing.

This is the best picture I have of us. I have a better one trapped on my camera from today.



This is Casey. She graduated right before Spring Break. We both got to go on the Gulf Coast Trip this past October. I really enjoyed getting to know her better on this trip.



This is Savannah. On some day off of school I took her and another Little to a state park and we enjoyed nature. This is me trying to be creative and improve my photography skills. That is my shoe and Savannah was throwing rocks into the water. I loved this day!



This is Julie. She and I shared a room when I first got here and she graduated in December. I believe I refered to her as Charity in some past post/e-mails. We butted heads a lot and are both really stubborn people, but in the end, we were really able to enjoy each other and form a friendship.



This is Jordan. She graduated not too long after we got here. I did not know here really well, but she added a lot of life to this house and was a good leader. We had a really great talk at the K-Life Barn for house night once that I will always remember. It was right before she left and I wish I had had the time to know her better.

This is Adrian. She was our first graduate and graduated a few days, maybe a week before Jordan. I didn't know her very well at all. However, she has a great smile and I enjoyed watching her leadership in the house.

We had one other graduate, Hillary who graduated in December around the time that Julie did. I don't have picture of just her though.

Now for a few more pictures because I can.

This post is inadequate to honor them. However, I wanted you meet a few of our girls.
