The boy ended the speech by dedicating it to his mother.
“You are the best daddy ever, and I love you so very much,” Jaxon said. Jaxon thanked his teacher, who he described as a supportive ear with a “big heart.” He also thanked his grandparents and his father. “My kindergarten year helped me grow braver, smarter, kind-hearted, and more grateful,” he added. “I learned to play with other kids, read books, answer or ask questions like how or why, use correct grammar, and use my school tablet.” “When I started kindergarten at New Dawn Academy in August 2022, I was a little 5-year-old who had lost my beautiful mother a month before,” Jaxon said. The 6-year-old delivered the speech from memory and went on for 4 minutes. Jaxon worked on the speech with his grandmother, who didn’t let the father read or hear it before the ceremony.
