TGIF 9/20/2024 - Edition 171

Another proud parent moment. I’m thrilled to share that my oldest daughter has been accepted to another college, Boise State University. Her hard work, dedication, and perseverance continue to pay off. This new opportunity is a testament to her resilience and passion for learning.

As she continues her final senior year in high school, I couldn’t be prouder of the woman she’s becoming. Here’s to new adventures, growth, and endless possibilities. I have friends and colleagues who have experienced taking their child to their 1st year of college this year and looking forward to this experience a year from now to whenever my daughter decides to go (University of Arizona, Boise State University, ...).

As you acquire more power, people are more likely to want to please you by listening more attentively, agreeing more, and laughing at your jokes. All of these things tickle the ego.
