So proud of my girl.
She's graduating high school in a few weeks. Last night was the Senior Ball. She turned down offers of dates so she could have her last big night out with her girlfriends. She's smart, confident and sweet. She takes no nonsense from boys or anyone else.
She is a terrific student and declined a lot of academic scholarships to attend U.C. Davis in the fall so she can be close to home. We're really happy that she won't be too far away.
Anna has worked as a cashier 16 hours/week all through high school without ever being asked. She does volunteer work regularly. She buys her own clothes and keeps her car running with her own money. I offer to help, but she politely refuses. It's a matter of pride for her.
I honestly don't know how I got so lucky. Not sure if I we accidentally did some good parenting along the way but I suspect she was just destined to be the kind of young lady she is. I tell her every day how proud I am of her.
