Last night, we attended our 2nd YMSL banquet to close out our 2nd year of service. It was a very pretty ceremony. Michael was not happy about attending because he is after all a 16 year-old boy, but as a parent it is my job to keep pushing in the direction that I feel will give him growth. I won't lie - it's a struggle to get him to serve, but I know that one day he will look back a appreciate what he did for others. At least that is my hope.
He served over 30 hours this year so he received the Outstanding Service Award. Matthew will also start serving this coming year so I may have some more weight to push, but in the end, I hope these boys will remember the times we spent serving together.
