I am bursting with Pride right now over my my Jessica Grace aka Jessica Bug. Not only did she make perfect attendance for this last quarter she also got the Excellence award(one per class) and this was for Godly behavior and leadership qualities, along with Great attitude and kindness towards others but she for the very first time since she has started Kuyper Preparatory (this is her second year) is on the Honor Roll!!!!! I am so proud of my girl. She has worked sooooo hard to get this and this is the story behind it all.
I have been pretty fortunate to have my kids work very hard in school without too much prompting from myself . And since all my kids have started at Kuyper they have done well, been on the honor roll and headmasters list pretty consistently except for Jessica. As happy as I am for them it hasn't been the most important thing in my life and I have always told them even better than getting good grades and being smart is good character and working hard. Jessica would always be a little sad because frankly since she has started Kuyper, school has been a challenge and so I have always told her as long as you are doing you're best everything is A-OK with me.Well Jess, has really been working hard and unbenownst to us not only did she get the Perfect attendance but the Honor Roll and Excellence. It was the cutest thing ever to see her whole face just light up when they called her name. So here's to my baby girl who is getting soooo big. You did it Honey! And even though I would and will love you just as much if you didn't get these awards, you deserved them and I'm so happy for YOU. Hooray!

Yay for Jessica! I too am sooooo proud of her! She is just an awesome kid, sooooo much fun, and she IS a bug. lol And cute as a bug. Hugs to her for all of her hard work!
I'm So excited for you Jessica! Those Christian/private schools are hard to get to the top! I went to one in 7th grade and had trouble even getting good grades!!
We can't wait to meet you soon.
Congrats to Jessica! Like you said, as long as it's your best that's great, but she definitely deserves accolades for her hard work..when it didn't come easy.
