The medals our team earned at the Regionals in Science Olympiad (SO) came in, finally. We forgive the organizers for forgetting to order them in time to distribute during the awards ceremony last month. It is hard to imagine how one would forget to order medals when one organizes a competition, but we will be gracious and give them our thanks for all their efforts in putting together such a massive effort as SO Regionals.
Our son put his on – four golds and a bronze – but he did not want to be photographed. Then, he took them off. He said it felt good to have them, but not getting them on the day of competition took away from their aura.
Our daughter did not mind being photographed with her two medals – gold in Bridge and Flight.
Please say a prayer for us to qualify to Nationals. This is the last week of preparation. I will let you know by next Monday how our team did. Thanks in advance for your prayers!
