This
past week, we made the six hour drive down to Sumter, SC to attend the high
school graduation of Reece Walker, our son Rhett’s middle child. There were two events involved with the first
one being an awards ceremony where Reece received several honors but a very
special one – a four year ROTC scholarship to the University of Tennessee. After spending most of her life in a military
family, she has decided she wants to be a physical therapist in the US Army.
Needless to say, her parents were beyond happy with the size of that check.
The next
night was the actual graduation ceremony and here she is with her mom’s parents
– didn’t get any with us.
I
believe her dad is very pleased that she wants to follow in his footsteps with a
hitch in the army and also attend is alma mater for college plus it will be
good for her to have us only 40 miles away from UT.
We
are now one third of the way through the grands graduations and the next one
will be in Texas in 2019.

Have
a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

Wow that is some scholarship check, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for her...she has to be a great student. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLarry, Wow! Good for Reece! Damn...they sure grow up fast don't they?! That's one hell of a scholarship grant! It also shows just how expensive college is these days. I put David II through college from 1987 - 1992 for his Masters Degree in Business (5 years) for the equivalent in today's dollars of 'only' $128,000. It would probably cost $190,000 today based on the 4 year scholarship. Yikes! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
