driven.

Braden is a very smart boy. Always has been. The last month has taught me that he is also very driven when he wants to be. Braden has finished his ENTIRE Sparks book in a month and a half! He knew some of the verses just by listening to Cailey do them for the last couple years and learned the rest ON HIS OWN!! Honestly, I couldn't believe it...everyday he'd come to me knowing another verse, or his books of the bible! His teachers were amazed and proud too. They told me that whenever he was finished with his, he'd help the other kids learn theirs! The Sparks leader was excited as well and says he's never seen anyone finish and REALLY KNOW them so quickly. Braden will spend the rest of the year reviewing (which is super easy because he remembers them all) and learning a few new ones. He's also informed me that he wants to get started on learning the ones for next year! We are VERY proud of you, Braden!

that he'll get throughout the year just for showing up)
