Do you have any scholars in your family?

That's fantastic Henry! Everyone thinks their children can conquer the world, but I think your children really can! It shows up in their work. And that she is so good in the math department - that will get her far. As for good news around here? There really is none. My mom's dementia continues to get worse. She's got the body of a 51 year old, but the mind of a two year old. And I'm not exaggerating. But there is one good thing going this week. Every year my dad's church sends him to a pastors conference in Chicago at Moody Bible Institute. A lot of his pastor friends come, and a lot of his regular church friends come. They stay for about five days and hear preaching, worship, and pretty much get refreshed with their fellow brothers in Christ. And every year when he comes home from it, my dad is so refreshed and excited about what God has planned for our church. And right now I know he needs this fellowship so much. I'm so glad he got to go. My mom is staying with her mom right now. So my dad doesn't have to worry about that. And I'm so glad. I'm thinking about putting up a sign in his house so when he comes home he'll see a big sign that says something like 'we love you' or 'you're appreciated.

What news did I recieved? Hmm thats a tough one but for sure is when I received word that my boss is rooting for me to get the promotion. I always thought that he was out to make my life a living hell but when I heard that she was actually supporting my promotion, I had a big smile and that made my Week. Woot woot

Dearra's been having a rough 2nd half of the year, so I was happy to see her get all her important grades up to at least B's. And Cary, who has autism, got an award (B average), and so did Naomi (A average). So I"m pretty pleased....

Congratulations to you and your daughter! Well, to the question part. The only awesome news that I have that made my first year in college life is that being in the honor roll or dean's list for my first two semesters! It's a great start for me because in High school, I never experienced being in the Honor's list. I was actually the in the bottom of the class! Now, I really believed what my teachers would tell us every time in class during High school. That most of the students that do not excel in High school would eventually excel in college life or even after college! Again, congratulations on your daughter's success!

wow... that's totally awesome... congrats to your daughter... Such an intelligent kid. Right, your girl deserves a celebration, a reward for her excellence. Always encourage her and show her that you all are proud of her.. Congratulations to your daughter again and God Bless you all...:)

To answer the title question, yeah there's a scholar in the family. It's me, actually. ^_^ It's the first time I've ever got accepted into a scholarship program, and it's for a Master's degree! and to answer your second question, awesome news? That's it! I am the first scholar in our family. It makes me feel proud, happy, anxious, scared, pressured, and everything else at the same time!

Congratulations! You have a very smart daughter and you must be very proud! It feels so good being a father, right? Again congratulations! Good news for me - I've just been offered a job. Something I've been wanting for a long time because I'm now hating where I'm working now. Awesome news for me!

This is great. Good for you.I can only tell you to keep it.While I was a student always tried but gave me the incentive and that it had the support of her mother say this to be primarily a friend of their children.Give them prizes or buy them things for which they longed to see it will have even greater success. just encourage them.You are a proud parent! Have a nice day!

Awesome, those are very good scores and calls for a big celebration! I am a scholar and currently a college student! I always wish for more of us!

A cousin on mine was accepted into harvard, which was no surprise because she is a genius,I am one of the lucky few who made it into colleges due to sports.
