Will,
You should be so proud of yourself! I am so proud of you and I didn't need the 5th Grade teachers of your school to give you an award of " Mr.Caring " , " Always looking out for the happiness of others " ; to know how caring and patient, long-suffering, thoughtful, forgiving, and kind that you are; but I am happy that you have another witness for yourself besides your Mother who always sees the best in you and loves you so much.
In a day and at your age when so many of your peers are focused on " being cool ", or " fitting in " , you stay true to whom you are inside and that's apparent because you choose to be kind, over what others may think is " cool ".
Will you don't like it when people rank themselves over others and you never rank yourself to be better than anyone else and I know this because you told me it's hard for you when others brag or say things to make themselves look better than another, and I have never once heard you say that you are better than anyone and if anything, you lack the ability to see your strengths, because that's just not what you are focused on; you are focused on others around you being happy at school and you are focused on taking the things you like to do and genuinely enjoying those things- like drawing, Japanese cartoon and culture of bravery, loyalty to friends, and defeating the bad guys that hurt or kill in these shows you like.
I am so proud of who you are because you are meek, and even when you might get upset as all teens do- you always come over to me a few min. later with tears in your eyes and say, " Mom, I am sorry I got mad. " This is not something everyone does and I treasure this about you because every person has moments and times they are upset, but what matters is recognizing that their feeling of anger can change to see our own flaws and not the flaws of others, and then we can feel less upset and able to have charity; which you have! And is the most valuable, and without it we are nothing.
Moroni 7: 43 And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be meek, and lowly of heart.
44 If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.
45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind
I can't believe you are the graduating class of 2029!!!! You are the future and when I see kids like you, I have more faith in the future of mankind.
Love you special Will ,
Mommy 💝
