(But a little bit more to her - she's the one that's going to Uni, after all. )

Your daughter's numbers are virtually identical to those of my middle step-grand, and she should take pride in them, because they are no mean feat. "My grad" sure takes pride in her work and accepts nothing less than excellence from herself.

Her extra-curriculars were through the roof, too. Varsity basketball and volleyball, sings the national anthem at school events, first chair flute in the county orchestra, performed a leading role in the Drama Club's annual production (and now she's hooked!) and for her first term at uni, she will be placed in second semester of second year, because she's also taken a ton of extension courses.

And, I believe her career path at this point will gladden the good people here. She's aiming to be an investigative journalist.

From all you tell us about her jls4561 Mar 2023 #1
