<p>Wow! That’s just like me. I was the first in my school to ever receive even National Merit Commended… And like your daughter, I received a certificate that said Congrats la de da __________. They didn’t even fill in my name either. 
The ironic thing is I actually was elected Homecoming Queen this year. But anyway, I didn’t get any recognition for National Merit but I had all these people congratulating me on becoming Homecoming Queen.</p>
<p>That’s the way it goes I guess.</p>
