Graduations are a time that bring families together. They unite to encourage the next generation to pursue their dreams and aspirations.
Some families may have one graduate while others may have multiple graduates in multiple cities. The An- drews family had made
plans to attend the gradua- tion ceremonies of all five of their scholars. However, COVID-19 changed their plans. But, it has not damp- ened the pride they feel for each graduate.
This year, Mrs. Gloria Adams Andrews, matri- arch of the family, has five grandchildren celebrating their respective accomplish- ments.
Locally, 18-year-old Adam Andrews has com- pleted all requirements for graduation at Middleton High School. Adam was chosen as the Salutatorian of Tradi- tional Studies with a 3.6 grade point average.
During his tenure at the school, Adam was a member of Men of Vision, Inc., and enjoyed playing basketball. His goal is to attend the Uni-
versity of Central Florida and major in Physical Therapy.
