You guys. This kid.
Well, I say "kid" but hearing him carry on a conversation with other people is anything but kid-like. I was so impressed by Caleb's ability to effortlessly command attention, not in an intimidating way, but a "I've been your friend all your life" way. This young man is blessed with a super infectious charisma that draws people in, making them instantly comfortable. He made my job super easy.
On the other hand, Caleb is still a kid getting ready to experience possibly the best time of his life. And who is by his side? His family. Caleb obviously understands that family is the most important support system he can have, and that family was in full force today. BB even came from Morristown to hang out! His entourage accompanied us throughout the entire session, and they reminded me of my own family with their easy-going attitudes and strong bonds. Caleb's mom says they are loud and crazy, but that they love hard. Loving hard is the best way to do it! Caleb's fortunate to have a family as close as his is, but I'm pretty sure he realizes that. Not many senior sessions incorporate grandparents, but Caleb's did because he knows family is that important.
Caleb loves biking on the Creeper Trail, reading fantasy and science fiction, schooling others on his handmade chess board from Guatemala, building and racing solar powered go-carts at Bristol Motor Speedway, and showcasing his leadership abilities. He sits on the Teen Advisory Board for the Elizabethton/Carter County Public Library, and he served on the Carter County Youth Leadership team this past year. With his personality, social skills, and interests, this young man will go far. But, please, parents and grandparents, take this kid to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!
And I got to see these two handsome boys! I can't help it. When kids are around, I just have to snap.
