My Daughter Ember

Her middle school awards ceremony was today. She received the Teacher's Award presented to the student "who consistently displays a positive attitude, consideration for others, is well mannered, hard working, displays characteristics of a 'model student', and makes teaching a joy." for 7th grade. She also received the Certificate of Award for Honor, which is presumably for being an honor student all year; and the Certificate of Award for Outstanding Character- Perseverance, for which she really had no explanation. She was also given the pin for Academic Athletes, which we both assume is because she is an honor student and an athlete (track). It didn't really come with any paperwork or an explanation. These awards come as no surprise to me, she is good worker.

She has also received the super citizen award and honor roll award every quarter this year and got a 99% on her German final. Soon the school year will be over for her too.

  1. I didn't know your daughter was a Monk

  2. Oh yeah, I make all my kids take PC class levels. She picked Monk and I said "Are you sure?" and she was all "Yes, dad, I REALLY want to be a Monk."; of course she wanted to quit after a couple of months, but I made her stick it out for a few levels because when you commit to something you have to stick to it, at least long enough to know whether or not you just wanted to quit because it got hard to do or you really didn't like it.

  4. Oh, no...Lidda is a terrible influence. Have you seen how she behaves in the Player's Handbook? If I were her mother, I'd be awfully embarrassed.
