Alison, her mother, and I, went to Milledgeville this weekend to visit with Benjamin, and experience his double choir weekend!
First up, we heard him in the University Chorus, where they sang songs related to Shakespeare, the lyrics coming from different Shakespeare plays.
The next day, we heard him in the church choir of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. We are so happy that Benjamin's faith journey continues while in college. Not every college student, even if they are religious, continues on their own to the extent that Benjamin is. He also belongs to an Episcopal Youth Group. Only a few of their members attend St. Stephen's, the Episcopal church closest to campus. Some of those who don't may be commuting students who attend at home.
No experience, no individual is perfect, so I don't mean to pedestalize Benjamin.
Nevertheless, I am very proud of him and the way he has taken to college. He is doing well academically and socially. He is participating in more extra-curriculars than he even did in high school.
Bravo, Benjamin! You are off to a sensational start!
