Our oldest son, Skeeter, had a dream since the time he was about 15 years old. His dream was to become a full time ocean Lifeguard...not just that but in a specific city. He was told when he became a seasonal guard to never count on this for a career. With a department of only 15 permanent guards it just won't happen. We encouraged him to go to other cities to seek his dream. Other places are hiring Skeeter...go for it! Well, he was determined that this is what he wanted. Long story short his dream came true! This week he completed his 1st year as Lifeguard Officer for the city where we live. And, he is passionate about what he does. We worried and fretted about his career and that he hadn't completed college, but God gave him a passion and He has given Skeeter the desire to do what he is doing. So, Don't ever give up and follow your heart and passions that you have in life! I am so proud of him, that in spite of what we thought, he just kept his goal in front of him. I love you Officer Leeper!!
