<p>Our D is actually forward to college to ease up her schedule. She has attended an arts high school specializing in music percussion. She has also been a percussionist for for one of Canada’s highest ranking junior orchestras (practice every Saturday from 0900 till 1400) with major concerts throughout the year, drummer for a national gold medal Jazz band (Monday from 1930 till 2200), guest percussionist for a community based orchestra (Tuesday from 1930 till 2200), percussionist for a community based concert band (Wednesday 1900 till 2130), Percussionist for a community based Wind Ensemble (Thursday 1930 till 2130). Needless to say we have always been very concerned about her yet she is in the top 5% of her class. I think it is that her Mom and I are both project managers and instilled in her the absolute need to schedule your time. She gets homework and starts it right away even if it is not due for a month. She has a PDA with all of her schedule on it and she goes by that to plan her work load. I admire her ability to cope with this at such a young age but she thrives on it and is bored silly over the summer.</p>
