Colton Nightingale

What makes Colton Xtraordinary to you?

Colton has the biggest heart and draws everyone to him. When we are at school functions everyone stops to say hi and give him a high five, from his classmates to kids in Jr. High and High School. He loves to crack jokes and hype people up. He is gives his best in the sports that he plays and at school. He teaches me every day to have patience and to work hard to overcome the obstacles that are placed before you. Colton loves to say the prayer at dinner and melts my heart when he reaches out to hold hands while we pray at church. Colton has taught me more in his 10 years that I will ever teach him.
