Michael is our newest addition to Georgia-Beatie. He's 13 years old making him the oldest member of the cottage (well, except for us FIFTY-something Family Teachers!?). He really enjoys sports of all kinds and has set as one of his goals "thirty minutes of physical activity per day." This goes along with his other two goals: to pass the 7th grade and to go to college. Michael has adapted well to life here at Thornwell and we are very happy to have him with us. I remember what David (our youngest boy) said to me after Michael came to interview here and spent an afternoon with us a couple of months ago. We were coming in to the house from a walk around the campus, and I had asked David what he thought about Michael. Without hesitating for a second, he looked straight at me and said, "Take him!" So we did. No regrets!

From 11 years old to 13 years old were my most challenging years growing up. May he continue to set great goals.
Come to think of it, I'm 47 and I need 30 minutes of physical activity daily. I think I get that weekly.
I applaud him.
