Great Idea for a thread
OK here I go
My oldest dd (13) has been accepted at the Lawrenceville School, the Peddie School and Bishop Eustace Prep for high school, all are great prep schools in NJ (but the first two she would have to board at and she is not sure)AND has been asked to participate in the John Hopkins gifted program, after scoring a 580 math and 540 verbal on the SAT's in 8th grade AND she also danced in the Nutcracker this season dancing not only in the corp for flowers, candy canes and snow flakes, but was also a demi soloist for chinese AND she is to receive a gold watch from the school district for getting all A's every marking period since first grade, making principals or superintedents list each marking period, AND most importantly she is a really nice kid with a good heart!!!!!!! (phew you didnt say it could not be a run on sentence)
My ds (12) made honor roll, AND his ice hockey team won both their thankgsgiving and christmas tournaments AND we are off the Lake Placid NY for another tounament in March, AND won most valuable player on his middle school ice hockey team for scoring the game winning goals for his team in three consecutive games AND he is gentle soul.
My yougest dd (9) my artiste has been a busy little bee making honor roll in school, preparing to audition for the radio city music hall christmas show AND will be attending a summer arts camp in Michigan at a school called Interlochen in July for acting AND she passed her pre-preliminary moves in the fields for figure skating, where in order to pass these test you appears before these awful judges who dont even smile, since they are with the USFSA---so now she can compete on that level AND she is a spirited artistic single minded girl who will get everthing she wants, and hopefully not more than she bargained for.
AND I agree where all have great kids---I say a pray everyday for all our kids, and a pray for all parents that we instill in our kids that even though they get to do all these neat things and that we are proud of them, that the world is big out there, and they must give back to it, and become active particpants in making it a better place
