Today is yet another #prouddad moment. My youngest daughter (not including a stepdaughter that is finishing up 7th grade) is graduating from high school today. Mykayla has certainly grown into an exceptional young lady these past number of years. A few weeks ago, she took home several awards and scholarships (much like her older sister Mariah), and by the end of the summer will be heading off to North Dakota State University with, so far, an undeclared major.
She has a very creative, determined mind, and is very talented when it comes to creative activities. This past year for speech competition, she not only wrote on speech from scratch, for rewrote it in its entirety twice, and tweaked it here and there for the next few weeks thereafter. She has blossomed in her theatrical skills too, and was a valued member of the drama team.
Her career interests are vast, and with an undeclared major the field is wide open for what she can accomplish. Her other interests are also as vast as myself, from superheroes and Star Wars to Doctor Who and board games. She is one of the kindest and appreciative young people I know, and is always quick to say "Thank you!"
Mykayla has been a type 1 diabetic since she was three, and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the subject. Not only has she helped her older sister navigate this new world of diabetes since September 2023, she has given advice to her older brother who was a little younger when he got diabetes.
Her life will be interesting to watch as she will soon find her place in this world.
