Last night we attended the Golden Scholars awards ceremony with D. Our school district rewards kids who have a 3.8 GPA or higher through this point in the year with some recognition at this ceremony. D's school had 625 out of the 3000 students at his school qualify for this honor - that seems pretty good to me. D has a 4.3 GPA due to some weighted AP classes this year. He will need to continue with this GPA to be able to get into his 1st choice for college - MIT. He is a pretty brainy kid and this is why we lovingly refer to him as "our retirement plan"! In Jr. High and Grade School the kids got medals at this ceremony but in High School they give you a letter! There was lots of excitement about this and we had to laugh because they include in the bag with the letter an ad to have it framed for the low price of $39.95! It was a really nice evening topped off with our traditional post award ceremony stop for ice cream on the way home.
D - you continue to impress us with your work ethic when it comes to your enormous load of homework! Your father and I know that you did not get this from us :). We are so proud of the young man you have become and are excited to see what the future brings for you. We know that you will be able to do anything you set your very imaginative mind to. May the coming years bring you MIT and a Mythbuster's career - dare to dream! Love you bud!
