With Chase's third year at UNC Chapel Hill underway, he has accomplished many things. The Business School at Carolina is where he spent most of his first semester and has done very well. He misses being up on campus where so many other students are that I found out he had been attending a lecture class just to be around other students. Can you believe that!? A kid going to an extra class just to see and be around others. He even went to the exam.....he wanted to be "that guy" to finish the exam in 15 min. and walk out. However, he got too involved in his essay that someone else beat him to the punch. What a great kid Chase is; sense of humor and a wonderful student. LOL
One of his best accomplishments is becoming president of the Carolina Dreams Club at UNC. This is something he is passionate about and seems as though he is destined to help out other children. Take a look at the link and see what he will be involved in during the next year or so. Of course, he will never forget Friends of Jaclyn and what that organization does for children specifically with brain tumors. I just love the Murphy's and how they have dedicated their lives to helping others.
His fall baseball season also turned out to be quite eventful. During the Fall World Series, as they call it, he was able to have an "at bat!" How exciting to see him at the plate swinging the bat. After accomplishing getting on base, by being hit by the pitch, LOL, he stole second base! Playing second base in the final inning was the ending hype of the game and there was no way you could slap the smile off his face that night.
With all that being said, we are so thankful that Chase continues to do well academically as well as in health. UNC Children's Hospital now has a new cancer wing and Chase is happy that he does not have to visit it but every six months now for scans. That is not to say that he does not go there to see other kids or to see Dr. Gold for a "hello" every once in a while, but his health has been very good and we know we are blessed. We do have one request. Please keep a dear friend of his, Ashton Miller, as well as her family in your prayers. Ashton is a friend he met through cancer and she still continues to battle the disease. Being 21 and having to make life changing decisions is truly what I am happy Chase does not have to make, but, Ashton does. Pray BIG for her, please.
Thanks for keeping up with Chase. Knowing that there are many out there praying for us and wanting the best in life for Chase makes his life wonderful.....as well as mine.
