And that's a wrap for one midwestern kid

And you know what was funny? My daughter had never met this girl before the athletic dept signing day (they assigned us the table next to hers). Girl didn’t play for the school’s tennis team, wasn’t in any of daughter’s classes (and they were ‘in the same league’ with honors/AP classes). No one else knew her either. D thought she must have taken a lot of online classes and been gone from school to play on the junior tennis circuit. She was not in the top 20 of the graduating class, wasn’t in NHS, didn’t win any academic awards or other scholarships. I happened to get two sightings of this wunderkind, one at the athletic awards (D2) and one at academic awards night (D1).

But to the OP, please celebrate your daughter, her dance accomplishments, her college choices, her being a kind person, an entrepreneur, a volunteer. She’ll go far. I wanted my daughter to be an actuary but she had other ideas.
