I just want to congratulate my son Jake on his upcoming Graduation tomorrow June 11, 2005 2:30 p.m. EST.
Sometimes I wondered if we would ever get to this point but you did it and you did it in fine fashion !! Tomorrow you will begin yet another journey in your life and I think you are ready for the world. Thanks to THN (Boss) for giving you the opportunity to utilize your writing skills and love for the Redskins on this great site. I'm sure the experience will help you in your journey to journalism / broadcasting (whatever you decide). Yes...I will cry tomorrow and probably embarrass you but I'm allowed - I'm your mom and I'm proud of you. Enjoy your day !! Keep up the good work !
I love you !
Mom

Finally... maybe now you can get some work done around here.
Congratulations bro. I've seen a lot of changes in you over the last couple of years... a lot of growiing up. Graduation is just part of that process.
Have a good time tomorrow.

Way to go Jake, have a great time tomorrow. I think you have a bright future.

Congrats Jake! And congrats to Terri too! I know you did alot to get him here. Parenting is a tough job and it helps when you have a great kid! Enjoy your day Jake and please don't moon the audience. When I graduated they gave us fakes during the ceremony and threatened to hold our real ones if we did anything stupid. Just an FYI.

Do not buy an air horn, that crap isn't funny...
But yeah, graduating high school is great, my little sister just graduated last month. (Hopefully your HS is smaller, we were packed like sardines into the indoor practice facilities for the Air Force's athletic teams. It was weird, I could see absolutely no use for the "arena" none of the big 4 would be played in there I was sure.)
Anyway, what are your college plans?

Good work Jake - and while holding down two jobs - here and Denny's.
Know you are proud Teri - I almost remember my HS graduation, it's been so long. (insert old joke here).

Thanks everyone...I'm sure Jake will be on as soon as graduation practice is over around 4 p.m.
His graduating class is 451 strong - it's being held at an Equestrian Center / Show Place Arena which is plenty big enough. He's got "R" for the last name thing going on...so it will be a while before we see him cross the stage though.
Yes Niki...you're right..they get fake diplomas till it's over then they have to pick up the real one.
NC - he works at Friendly's though there's not a whole lot of difference...except Friendly's has better ice cream!! Ha ! I know about "almost" remembering the graduation thing...I graduated HS 31 years ago !! AHHHHHHHH ! That is enough to make me cry !!

Not right away. I will take some time off this summer and then I will probably attend Anne Arundel Community College.
I also hope I can intern at The Capital this summer. The Capital is the local Anne Arundel County newspaper based in Annapolis.
I will also continue writing for
What's Up? Annapolis magazine, a local magazine right down the street from The Capital. My mom and I may also get press passes to roam the sidelines during training camp.
