Last night I had the honor of seeing my oldest daughter receive the most prestigious academic award our school district has to offer. After 7 semesters of high school, she carries a 3.97 cumulative GPA and is ranked 11th in a class of almost 300 students.
Student who received the award had to pick a teacher who has most influenced them. Emma picked Señora Eastin who taught her Spanish II and Spanish III. We had dinner together while waiting for the keynote speaker Bob Maxwell to begin. I enjoyed being able to get to know her.
While learning Spanish, Emma has made up fantastic and colorful yarns about her own life for conversational projects and theme papers. She expressed concern before hand that Sra. Eastin was going to see her made up fantasy life collide with reality. So I found it incredibly funny when Sra. Eastin started talking about how she makes up outlandish tales (some which focus on her mother-in-law) to tell the class. I guess this keeps things interesting. :)
Congratulations Emma and best wishes for a bright future!
