Yay! She did it!

My daughter graduated high school last week… after a near miss! Anyways, it was quite a struggle to keep her motivated - in fact, she wasn't motivated at all - and even quit high school for two weeks. No amount of prodding, begging, shaming or bribing would work… but what finally worked, a young man told her he was disappointed in her because she quit school. That snapped her into gear and made her realize that she had too much going for her to quit… and that it would be a sad mistake to not get back up. So, on her own accord she made arrangements to apologize to the principal and re-enroll herself in school. She went to a private school since 3rd grade, so alas the curriculum was different than public school - her school worked on a PACE program, at your own pace workbooks - however, a certain amount of each subject are necessary for graduation - so her credits that she needed were rounded up to 29 tests in 35 school days… and she did it! With taking a few days off here and there! The stress that has lifted from this girl since graduation is amazing - and the stress lifting off our own family is quite amazing too… in fact, no longer are we thinking divorce - but we are thinking of a sweet future together… it's been a hard 6 months - but God brought us through it… intact and stronger…
