The bad part about this photo session is the reminder of how old I'm getting. I've known this young man since the days of Maloney Baloney and even before then, which doesn't say much to some, but to me, it screams of the MANY years that have gone by. To be able to watch a child grow into an adult is remarkable, and I've had the unique opportunity to watch this guy turn into a charismatic, witty young man. I know his mother and father are very proud of the man he is becoming. :) I've witnessed Malone being a sneaky instigator, a prankster, a protective big brother, a supportive teammate, a resourceful student, and a leader among his peers. Also, I didn't realize just how funny he is until I had him in my class. Ultimately, I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to see Malone's transformation over the years, to learn who he really is and what he is capable of. And while most other seniors are excited about getting the next phase of their lives...
The best life has to offer.
