I had my high school graduation ceremony on June 1st and thought I would share some photos with you all.

As some of you know, one of the main reasons I started making pens 3 years ago was to earn enough money to pay for college. I'll be attending Bob Jones University in South Carolina this fall and pens are paying for all of it! (minus scholarships)

I want to thank the folks of IAP for helping me reach this point. The people on this forum have been extremely helpful and encouraging in improving my pen-making skills.

As a high school counselor, I have sent many students to Bob Jones. Are you going into the ministry?
Congratulations. I know you worked hard for this.
That's great! Yes, I will be majoring in ministry. My dad is in the ministry as well and is an inspiration to me. I can't wait to see what God has planned for me!

Congratulations Seth. I agree with all of the messages to you but especially resonate with with what Peter Hay had to say. What a great tribute to such a fine young man. You seem to have your head screwed on straight and tight. Stay that way!! Keep the Faith my young friend. Look out Bob Jones University. Here comes Seth!

Seth, CONGRATS!!!! You and your whole family are amazing. My son is graduating today and I made a bunch of pens for his friends. I had trouble getting 16 done -- I can't even imagine a goal of 500 in just a couple of months!!

Keep up the great work - I'm sure you'll go far in life.

God Bless!

Thank you! Congrats to your son. My brothers and dad help a lot with the pens too.

Seth,
Wish I could turn back time and be a senior in high school again. They were the best 5 years of my life. Just kidding. Congrats and good luck in your future.
