La Realizzazione dei Sogni

Cari Famiglia ed Amici,

Today's post is one of exquisite speciality! We are dedicating this entry to my dear sister, Holly Carsten, whom very recently realized her dreams (La Realizzazione dei Sogni) by earning entry into the very prestigious, especially difficult school, Boston University.

Not only did she earn entry into Boston Uiversity, but she also finished four AP classes, scoring 3 or above on all the tests (including a 5 on Literature--a woman after my own heart!) which earns her advanced standing as a College Freshman.

She's also earned the honor of the Salutatorian designation at Forsythe High School and will be giving a speech on graduation commencement day.

Could one lady possibly do more? Yes, she could, and she did.

Holly also lead her Volleyball team for four years in all capacities, culminating in Volleyball Team Captain for Varsity.

Additionally, she's kept up her Jazz Dancing, which is absolutely marvelous! What a Renaissance Woman--C'e' una Bella Bravissima! (What a beautiful, brilliant Lady!)

Auguri, Auguri, Auguri alla Holly!
(Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations to Holly!)


Jenny and I are so very proud of Holly, sometimes it's difficult to express in words. While all her achievements are marvelous in their own right, the aspect that I find the most inspiring is this: Her acceptance at Boston University. Holly set her mind to earning entry into Boston University long before she started High School. During her four studious years, she held on to the goal of earning entry and, then, accomplished it! She realized her dreams with grace, style, integrity, and dignity. Pure inspiration is often difficult to uncover and grasp, yet here--in our very family--we need look no further than a young woman, our very own sister, whom has shown us what pure inspiration truly is: the Realization of Dreams.

Again, Congratulations to Holly!

Veramente, Li Ispirate ed Ti Amiamo Caro!
