As my Eldest has gotten older, and progressed in school, I told her that I would one day like to have an “honor roll” bumper sticker or my car. She has always gotten good grades and I knew that it would not be difficult for her. Generally, I don’t measure either of my children by the grades that they get, more importantly, I measure by how they work, study, and how their teachers see them progress.

If they get C’s and B’s, but the teachers all say that they work hard, they participate in class and are overall good students, I encourage them to try harder, but I am not going to be upset. And if they were ever to get A’s, however, the teachers think that they are goofing off, not working or paying attention…that is going to make me a little worried.

My Eldest is going to a math/science school for part of the day. She is taking classes that most high school students’ don’t take until they are in 11-12th grade. (Physics) She has had some difficulties, but she works hard, and tries her best, so this sticker is a testimony to her hard work and perseverance.
