One thing we’ve loved watching this summer is how much John has embraced “adulthood.” I shared previously that he landed an incredible summer internship. As a sophomore, we were already so proud of him for earning the opportunity. Now that he’s a month into it, we’re even more impressed by how he’s handling this season… Read More
