Awards Day - Jessica

Today was Awards Day at Jessica's school. She received the Academic Award for English which she was not expecting. She's said all year long that she thought the teach didn't like her. She said that last year about her Math teacher and guess which award she got last year...Math!

She also got another award that caught us by surprise. It was the Academic Award for Career Discoveries, which is an elective class. Any guesses on what Career Discoveries is? You'll never believe it, but the less politically correct term is "WOODSHOP"! This teacher must have just really liked her because out of everyone in the 8th grade who took his class he chose her. He being the same teacher who wouldn't let her use the band saw because he was scared she would hurt herself. Well, maybe he's just trying to encourage her!

Well, since this was the last day of school and she did pass the 8th grade, she is now officially a freshman in high school! Only problem is I'm not old enough to have a kid in high school, at least that's my story!!
