The next step

February 25th, 2009 by pattya

My husband and I are what you would call blue-collar workers.  We have no problem with that title and we are very satisfied with our jobs and with our life.  Everyone in this world has a role to play and we enjoy our part in that system. 

We have a seventeen-year-old daughter who is respectful, kind, and brighter than the morning sun.  She studies and learning comes naturally to her.  The math she is working on in her advanced placement math class is beyond anything I have ever approached.   For the book report in her advanced placement literature class she chose to read a fat book called Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand while I have my skinny Danielle Steele novel on my bedside.  She prepared an impressive science-fair project on the pheromones of the pine beetle that I couldn’t quite follow.   At parent-teacher conferences the academics have all told me she is gifted. 

Our daughter has received a merit scholarship that will help dramatically reduce college costs however my husband and I are going to meet with someone for additional college financial aid advice.  We will probably have our gifted daughter join us for the meeting because we want to make sure she has this golden opportunity without the stress of money worries.
