School and Timothy

Eagle Scout Andrew Done

Andrew started scouting at age 8. He worked on many belt loops and had fun working on the requirements. He earned as much as he could in the time he was in Cub Scouts. At 12, he started working on merit badges. When he entered high school, after many years of homeschooling, he found himself loaded with school work and after school activities, not to mention an adjustment to a totally different environment. Despite all these stresses in life, he squeezed in his time, the Eagle required merit badges. He needed 21, plus a leadership project. He earned 26 merit badges, and chose a project that stretched him, physically and mentally.

I am proud of Andrew! He is driven to succeed, and puts his best in many things he does. Sometimes, these qualities don’t sit well with peers. I often remind him, that his true friends are the ones who are happy for him when he succeeds on the goal(s) he sets. I love Andrew so much. I want him to remember how blessed he is for the special gifts given to him by Heavenly Father. He’s been blessed with mental abilities, that if he uses wisely, will benefit him and others.
