"A" Honor Roll

Well with everything that has been going on,there are still good things. Isn't life like that? " You take the good, you take the bad, you take the m both and there you have the facts of life..." I enjoyed that show..Last year, Harmony worked so hard in school. Her teacher, who I really liked, just wouldn't give her an A in writing. Not in spelling, or the composing of stories but her actual handwriting. It was frustrating but at the same time I am thinking " this is 1st grade! Why am I so concerned that she gets a 4.0?" So we dropped the subject. Literally, we stopped talking about it and just concentrated on her doing her best. Well little Miss Harm is a very driven little girl. She was not satisfied. She wanted A honor roll. And this year, 1st quarter she made it. During the awards assembly, they usually go from 1st and then go up to 5th. Not this time though. They started with the upper grades and worked their way down. So they had finished all of the 5th,4th, 3rd and all of the 2nd grade except Harmony, and she was the first one with A honor roll!!! There were 3 more after her, but they were all in 1st grade. In their school, A honor roll can be all A's with one B. B honor roll is when you have a mix of A's and B's and then B average allows them to have a C. Her hard work really paid off. When they were calling her class, and they announced that Harmony recieved A honor roll, the whole crowd was clapping for her. She had so many "congratulations" from people she didn't even know. A friend of hers,Tiffany, her Mom gave Harm one of Tiffany's balloons since she was so impressed with her hard work. Her teacher from last year told me that she had heard so many great things about how well Harmony was doing from the gifted teacher. She said she thinks they are going to test her soon. I am very proud of my little girl! She is a hard worker, driven, smart. She knows what she wants! My girl...love her to death!
