She's in!

[primsong]

Today was supposed to be the final interview for my eldest, Rose, and then we were to wait until the end of the month and (anxiously) watch for a letter to tell us whether or not she made it into the Early College Program they have here... the advisor from the college called us and had to cancel it, but told us:
"Just reschedule it, and don't worry about it. We've already reserved a place for her in it, and the interview is just a formality we have to have."

Yeehaw! We're so tickled - they are willing to use a waiver to address her being technically not being old enough and they were 'very happy' with her scores on all the testing, the essay she had to write and the letters of recommendation... She doesn't have to waste any more of her life on the public high school, where she feels like her brain is going stagnant and only has her drawing classes to look forward to - she's been given wings.

The school district will be paying for her tuition and books until she gets her diploma (three years of free college!) and she'll start at the community college in September. *bounces around the room happily* Depending on the course loads, she could be very close to an Associates degree by the time she has her diploma this way, and the bus by our house goes straight to the front doors of the college. God is good!

*Is proud, is happy, is grateful*

I am very pleased for you and her Prim.

This is a result of good parenting and encouragement from you, I am sure.

Aw, thank you (((Cads))) - I don't know how much credit I can claim, she was always so bright on her own. She's one of those with a really good memory and I think it's made academics/learning in general a bit easier for her, and a lot of credit would have to go to her private school too. She is my best friend in many ways, almost more than my 'daughter', and I'm just pleased as punch to see her get this opportunity.

Happiest of Easters to you! It's nice to hear from you.
