The 12 year old has struggled with school since the junior kindergarden.
She fought tooth and nail to catch up with her age group in Grades one and two.
She worked her heart out to keep up with her class in Grades three, four and five.
For the first time, in Grade 6, she managed to pull ahead a little.
After school one day, the 12 year old came into the house and, head down with her hair covering her face, she handed Simone a large envelope before racing upstairs. Simone ripped the envelope open and slowly began reading the report card.
Unable to contain herself, the 12 year old crept back down the stairs. "Six!" She exulted. "I got six A's! And they're NOT in music!"
Sure enough, there were six A's on that report card.
Wow.
Just wow.
