I have a seventeen year old! We are into the homestretch of having my baby at home with me, and it's freaking me out! By this time next year, he'll have his mission call and be defering his university acceptance. Crazy how time flies!
Collin's birthday fell on Christmas Sunday this year. It was kinda nice because church was only an hour. He asked for a guitar - many of his friends are getting guitars this year too - so he and Ryan and some of his friends all went shopping together. It's fun to see him picking up another instrument.
For his activity this year, he wanted to go climbing. Two friends, Connor & Wyatt, plus Brennan and Ryan all went. They had a great time. When their fingers were too tired to continue, they went to MOD pizza for lunch.
Collin is a proficient pianist now, composing his own music for sacrament meeting rest hymns and playing Rachmaniov at his recital. He has always had a knack for it, but he also works so hard.
He is also the lead programmer again for the Robotics team at school. He gives so many hours to the team. I am so grateful he can now drive himself everywhere and that we were able to get him a car last year.
He is a national merit scholar, in the top 25 of his graduating class, and taking 7 AP classes. He works his tail off, and I am so proud of him. He'll graduate with his associate's in cybersecurity, as well as many, many credits towards his bachelor's.
He plans to go on his church mission the summer after he graduates (2027), and then attend BYU in computer science. This kid is going places!
