Yesterday we received a taste of what is to come. Alyssa received her first scholarship. The school was having as awards ceremony for a reading program that has been going on throughout the year. Kids names were randomly drawn for bicycles and other things.
In correlation with this, the 6th graders were asked to write an essay on "Ways to save money during this harsh economy."
Alyssa wrote her essay but was sick the day they had to turn it in. She pleaded with me to drop it off , so I did in spite of the inconvenience on that day. Well needless to say, several weeks later, her essay was chosen over everyone else's to be the winner.
She was awarded $100 to put toward her education. It was exciting. I know that she will do great things with her schooling and have no doubt that this will be the first of many scholarships to come.
Congratulations!!!! Yes, this is the first of many to come for your bright child.
