I’ve liked Jeremy P.  ever since he stuck it out as the only boy to show up to at my daughter’s 8th birthday party. That was such a brave move that when school started this year, I told him he had an A in class before the first lesson was even handed out.  A joke of course, but today during PLUS class, Jeremy solidified his place on the “cool guys” list .

Jeremy has many hidden talents.  He’s funny, for sure, just sit near him in class.  But he doesn’t need me to promise him an automatic A; he’s a great writer on his own.  Back in October, I had the pleasure of reading a narrative essay about how he got his first guitar.  I love music, especially rock music, so my interest was piqued.  In passing, I asked him to invite me to a concert sometime– whenever that might be.  He said he’d play this week!  Before lunch, Jeremy showed off another skill for our class.  The boy can play guitar.  Check out his rendition of Nirvana’s “About a Girl.”

The next song Jeremy played was his own.  It was harder hitting but a huge crowd pleaser.

Jeremy ended the mini-gig with an all-time favorite… “Enter Sandman” made famous by Metalica.

Jeremy played solo today, but he’s definitely not alone.  He’s in a yet-to-be-named band with a few other guys from sixth grade: Christopher W., “Topher” S., & Ryan W.
