Nektoe Dewayne Demison Jr. is graduating from Bakersfield High School this year and your family wants you to know how proud of you we are.  As sophmores in high school, we had you.  As we have raised you, we now see how much you also raised us into the parents we are today.

Among your many accomplishments, your biggest was your strive to be the best. As we put you into sports as a teenager, you never got discouraged, but yet tried harder. You have worked so hard to be an excellent student, athlete, son, friend and peer. You have had some awesome teachers who have seen the uniqueness in you and have pushed you to keep succeeding. You continue to keep reaching goals, but yet still underestimate your worth.

You have a heart of gold and always think of others before yourself. Your sacrifices for your family are always done with a smile on your face and love in your heart. We realize how hard it is to change schools your senior year, but you again did it without a thought and made the best of it.

This wrestling season, we saw how hard you worked and you have set the precedence for your brothers and sister. Your LOYALTY to your family and being the best you can be add to your already wonderful character. You have set the foundation for them and we love, admire and respect you for that.

We love you Nektoe and are so proud of you. As you are preparing for college and continuing to think of others first, we want what is best for YOU. You have worked so hard and deserve all the great things that are happening to you. The world is yours Nektoe!  Congratulations!
