I was in 7th grade when they started Spirit Families, probably the best idea our principal at the time ever came up with. It gave a chance for all the students in the school to get to know at least one person from each grade.
In 8th grade, I got stuck with a little rascal named Andrew. He was about 2 feet tall, big ears and everyone always raved about how cute he is. I used to hold his hand walking to church. And now he is 16...good grief.
He's a bit taller now, and will be playing for Wallenberg's varsity basketball team this upcoming school year. I even coached him for 3 years when he was in 5th, 7th and 8th grade -- two championship appearances and one championship victory in 2007.
Happy Birthday to Andrew.
