Congratulations Ian

My nephew Ian has been named the WCPO Chan­nel 9 Stu­dent of the Week. This is quite an accom­plish­ment, and just the lat­est cool thing, in an ongo­ing series of cool things, that Ian has accom­plished. If any­one is deserv­ing of this honor, it is Ian. He is an amaz­ing young man, who is highly intel­li­gent, extremely involved, and uber cool. Beyond that, he is the only thing keep­ing my itunes library even close to rel­e­vant, and he fre­quently tells me things about the world that amaze me. I can remem­ber the day he was born like it was yes­ter­day, and I have spent the last sev­eral years watch­ing him become this amaz­ing per­son right before my eyes. I am not sur­prised at how bright he is, as his mother (my sis­ter), has been edu­cat­ing and amaz­ing me all of my life. They are quite sim­i­lar, and I am blessed to know them both. Ian, my con­grat­u­la­tions go out to you. I know that there will be many more acco­lades ahead. Keep believ­ing you can change the world. Keep speak­ing out. Keep using your gifts to make a dif­fer­ence. You inspire oth­ers to do the same. Oth­ers like me.
