I told your siblings and I will tell you...after graduating from South Aiken with a strong Christian testimony and morals intact, you have become my hero. It's not an impossible task but it's difficult in the culture in which we live. You chose to take the narrow path and thankfully you had some friends who were willing to take it with you. You chose good friends along the way and maintained your witness when I know it wasn't always easy. I know adults who are less committed and outspoken than you are as a young man. God will bless you for it as He always blesses obedience.
The road doesn't get any easier as you leave and go to college. The good thing is that you take Christ with you and the same Jesus who got you through high school will get you through college. He will never fail you or leave you or lie to you. Keep Him the priority in your life.
We know you will do well in school and baseball. There will be lots of fun along the way and memories to make. Don't take any of it for granted. You are getting an education which will help you accomplish goals. Very few get to go on and play the sport they love in college, don't ever take that for granted and remember someone is always working a bit harder so keep working at it. You will make new friends that will turn into lifelong friends. Treasure all the memories knowing that God is the giver of all good things and wants you to enjoy the life He's given you.
Never forget that your family will always love you more than you can even imagine and nothing will ever change that. We are super proud of you!! Now go in the strength and love of the Lord and live for Him!!
