Ray Gets Sappy - Tumblr Posts

I've never posted about my actual life before, but this was really important to me, so I'm posting about it.

I'm officially a freshman in high school now, (that kinda gives away my age but I'm still not telling you how old I am) and I passed with almost straight B's, with one C- in gym class, mainly because of tardiness. I've been trying and trying to keep straight A's, as last year I did have all A's even though I had a gap in my math education from going to public school most of my life. (I'm at this school on a scholarship).

Why am I telling you this? Well, it's because yesterday was my last day of school, and my mom asked for our grades while she drove home from work.

When she came home, she brought in flowers and chocolate covered oreos.

They were for me, and I was actually rather surprised. She told me how proud she was of me trying to give my all and for helping her around the house. She also was thankful for me trying my all to give her a good Mother's Day. (She and I had stayed up for 18 hours making a brisket. She was the one grilling it and it was really good!!)

We as a family (me, my mom and my little brother) have been through a lot these last few months. I won't go into detail because that is my family's personal choice and they said no, but the point is, I've still tried my best at school. I've tried to give it my all despite what has been happening. And so has my mom.

And it's because of you guys. People I've been following for a long time (like two years, I haven't been here long) in the Ninjago Fandom like (hope you don't mind the tags guys!!) @roselock22 , @spinjitsuburst , @enavstars , @xynczachrome and so many more people. Thank you for being such an inspiration for me, and thank you, Ninjago Fandom, for welcoming me with open arms :)
