kamataca Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 My daughter (6th grade) wants to earn her Bronze award in Girl Scouting. To do so, she must plan and implement a service project. She told me today that she has decided what she wants to do: Sponsor a poster contest to help raise awareness about LC issues. She has developed a plan, and is really excited about this. She is ready to start the research and create her flyers. She is just waiting for approval of her project I really am so proud of her, and I know my mom will be as well. There is the slightest chance that in the last 11 years I may have managed to do something right! Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Sounds like you have a wonderful daughter, Kelly. You tell her that I am proud of her too. AND I am a former Girl Scout myself. Good for her. Made my heart skip a beat. Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdjenkins Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Sounds like you have an amazing daughter! I have a 6th grade daughter too. She was asked to write her memoirs for communications class. She entitled it "The Day My Heart was Broken". It was about her Grandpa having cancer and all the wonderful memories she has of them together. I had to laugh when I read your comment about doing something right over the last 11 years. I thought the exact same thing. Isn't it nice to have those moments when you realize all that hard work just might pay off in the end. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail p-m Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 You deserve to be very proud of the compassion and caring you have instilled in that daughter of yours. Yes, that hard work DOES pay off - although sometimes you have to Wait and Wait. Give her a hug for me. gail p-m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamataca Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 Her project was approved! She is very excited about this. She told my mom at dinner last night, and it almost made her cry. Now she just needs to earn all the badges associated with this so she can get to work on the project itself. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 This is wonderful! Out of the mouth of babes! It's often amazing what children can see and pick up on that adults sometimes just can't seem to get! I'm so proud of your daughter, too!!!

jang Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I have a sixth grade daughter also. I'm still waiting to see if I've done something right! Only kidding, she's a good kid. You must be so proud of your daughter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyoung20 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 That is so wonderful!! I'm am so excited and I know you must be really proud. She is obviously an assertive, self-confident and empathetic young lady. You are an awesome mom!!! I can tell you from experience (teaching middle school 10 years) that many kids don't have those traits. You have done a great job. GOD BLESS!!!!
