I was thrilled to attend my nephew Ben's graduation from Salem High School in Salem, Virginina yesterday (Friday, the 13th :)).
Driving the hour and a half from Lynchburg, we were slightly late but arrived just in time to see Ben receive a multi-year scholarship from the City of Salem. My sisters tears said it all - a mother's pride.
Unfortunately my five year old didn't make it through the entire ceremony so we were unable to hear the speeches. Rather than use the typical valedictorian and salutatorian speeches, students at Salem High audition for the honor to speak at the event. It was covered in today's Roanoke Times and the video is worth a watch:

Congratulations, Ben! We are so proud of you!
