The high school placement letter came in today.
Dancer was admitted to her #1 choice for a specialized high school (one ranked in the top 10 in the country, and Eldest's semi-alma mater*);
She was admitted to THE performing arts high school for their dance program;
She was admitted to a superb public high school affiliated with an Ivy League college, where she could take college courses in her junior and senior years.
She will not be going to any of these, because she has chosen to go to a very fine Catholic girls' high school. But it is a fine thing to have such excellent options open to her. And I am very proud of my girl.
* In one of the quirks of life, Eldest is probably on the books as a drop-out because she went to college after her junior year, without graduating.

Hooray! That is a rare and pride-worthy achievement indeed! Congratulations to you both (all). I don't know you but am one of your many admirers and a devoted and grateful reader of your amazing blog.
ReplyDeleteYou should be proud. Someone once congratulated us on rearing fine children, and we pulled the "Oh, it's not us, it's all God" card. The gentleman said, "Yes, but someone had to cooperate with Him."
ReplyDeleteWorth bragging about. No apologies necessary!
ReplyDeleteKudos! You should be proud; brag all you want it is wonderful to see children be successful. I share in your delight.
ReplyDeleteBragging is when you make others feel small by showing off your accomplishments. But you are not bragging - you are sharing your joy with us; and we are glad to share it with you. I finished your post with a big grin on my face! Congratulations to Dancer!!
