It's graduation night at Richfield High School. The seniors are right on target. As they graduate they find themselves leaning into life from here on out.
Bolder, getting bolder. We find the class of 2007 stepping into life. Taking the first step is always the hardest. Just watch them. They can do it.
Johanna's gold cord around her neck indicated her high gradepoint average.
These are the Hensens, James and Elaine. They are good friends of our family coming to the graduation.
Debbie and Bernave Marquez, great friends and family too as their son, Berny Lee Marquez is married to Johanna's sister, Janet.
Now we have a line-up of souls; from left to right we have Shannon Ellis, Johanna's brother Derrick's wife and their little girl, Hallie. Stephanie Green, Sylvia Ellis (mom of course, to the gradiate), The Graduate, Johanna Ellis, Stephanie's little Joshua being held by none other than Dad and Grandpa, Kevin Ellis.
Close-up, Happy and Proud.
Johanna honors her parents. We are honored by her beautiful example of excellence in academics and also her life in general all the way to specific. You name it. She's good for it. She is a good girl, always respectful and obedient as well as individual and aspiring.
More smiles. . . .
