I am so proud to say my daughter recieved the Bright Futures Scholarship for college. Her education will be paid for 100%!!! I am so happy for her. You know, I was looking around last night at all of the scholarships that are out there and available to everyone. It is incredible. I even found one for me! LOL. Seriously, it was for a returning student, for certifications in horticulture, and was good at a community college or 4 year university! I am looking into possibly starting my certification process in January. Down here I want to do all of my classes that require actual outside work, to be in the coolest part of the year. I am so excited, because it is part of my retirement strategy...a career change when I move to part time work. Something different and beautiful...working with plants!
Anyway...back to my daughter...she is a peach to have worked so hard and gotten straight A's (although we did not expect her to do that...she was just driven that way). I think I will take her out for ice cream tonight to celebrate!
Wow-- That is just really Fantastic! Good for her--and good for Mom too!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you both!
Somehow, I think that she is a chip off the old block! It's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI applaud your plans for a second career. You will be a natural because it is what you love.
As the mother of 2 highly intelligent but unmotivated and seriously underachieving students, I gotta say I'm a little jealous.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter! To win a scholarship that pays 100%is really great. They are not that common it seems.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be fun to work with plants someplace, but I'm happily retired and through with working except volunteer work. The problem with working with plants out here is the weather. They always need people from June to October. Bad!
