Becket has been on an academic tear the past few weeks. He started it off by winning the regionals in Reflections for his video "Diversity Dinosaurs." He didn't let it go to his head in the least. Immediately after he won he said, "Now on to win state, then country, then the CONTINENT!"
He followed this victory up with the Tiger Pride award for January at his school. He busted some hooligans stuffing a toilet full of paper towels and was rewarded with a commendation in front of the school.
Just when he thought he was done (because he was starting to think he was invincible), he wins this storytelling contest at the school and gets to go on the tell his rendition of Puss in Boots to the district judges. Later that day, he beat his personal best distance run and came home with 2 certificates. Now if it sounds like a bunch of proud parent yammering, you have to know us. Although this kid is amazingly creative, he can be maddenly neurotic and aloof. So when things like this happen, we get pretty excited to see him so happy. He has such a great heart, you just can't help but want to see him succeed. Keep it up Beck!
