Dad, I wan't to part of something bigger than myself..."
"Dad, I want to be a part of something bigger than myself. I want to serve my country."
So said my beautiful 17 year old daughter as she left the Academy's summer leadership program. Monday she received her Congressional nomination. Today we learned she'd gotten her appointment. Yes, I am very proud. Hopefully that's not too big of a sin. God bless her and God bless the United States of America.

You should be proud. Heck, I'm proud and I don't even know her.

David- I applaud your Daughter- most 17 year olds couldn't tell you the population of the United States but know when one of the Kardashians got their period.
Be proud- be very proud. |

Nice to hear there are still some good children who are not afraid of hard work.
On a related note my step daughter just got accepted to O of U... She is an AP student, very involved in volunteer work. Not as prestigious but we are very happy and proud.

David--
Absolutely NOT a sin to be proud of your child, particularly when she wants to serve her country. My congratulations to you on your parenting skills and to your daughter for her vision. WELL DONE!

Thanks everyone - but the honor is hers. She's going to Annapolis. She is my second child to go out of state for college. Proud of both of them too - my oldest is at Hillsdale. Personally, I'm on cloud 9! Just wish my WWII Navy father were here to see her!
