James began his senior year of college today and we are all very proud of him and his academic achievements.

It seemed like just yesterday we were dropping him off at kindergarten.

James has a busy semester planned. He will be at Wayne State again but concentrating more on French Class and Math Class (Calculus 2) rather than his business classes at Mike Illitch which will resume in his second semester.

Hopefully when the second semester begins we will be talking about a bachelors degree.

James got all A’s this semester (one was an A minus and the others all straight A’s). Because of this great first semester at Wayne State Mom and Dad treated James to a visit to his favorite restaurant, Bubba’s on Eureka road. Despite being a rainy day, it was raining A’s for James!

Great Job James

James took advantage of his college location and went to his first Red Wing game at Little Caesars arena.

In the past few months James has been volunteering his time helping others through a volunteer program at Wayne State. While he does not get school credits for this, he does get volunteer credits which help him on other things while at Wayne State. It also looks good on a resume!

One of the volunteer works he did was a ten hour stint where he helped set up tables and decorations in a school auditorium in Detroit in preparation for a visit from Santa for all the local kids. James said when the kids came in he acted like an usher making sure the kids were in the right spot to visit Santa. James had a great time at this volunteer event and certainly put him in the Christmas spirit.
