I'll keep you in mind for 3/10.

The way I see it, if she gets in, that's fabulous but if she doesn't, she learns something about the world, about herself, and maybe she gets a little closer to understanding how to lose and still win. I feel like I didn't get enough rejection in childhood and have really had to work on thickening my skin as an adult.Sara Walpert Fosternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152710377778718003.post-83712523449461627772012-01-20T13:05:27.686-08:002012-01-20T13:05:27.686-08:00Yeah, April, they're applications for Catholic...Yeah, April, they're applications for Catholic high schools. The kids have to take standardized admission tests and have their current teachers submit recommendations. It's way more stress than I anticipated for an 8th-going-into-9th grader!<br />Thanks for checking out the blog.<br />LivLiv Rancourthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171029958375171223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152710377778718003.post-71152644379698971432012-01-20T05:05:43.615-08:002012-01-20T05:05:43.615-08:00High school applications?

My brother played baseball his whole life, and when he was young, it seemed that every single year, his team lost every single game. It was awful. Yet, every year, they went to the "playoffs" and every year they received trophies. Or take Field Day - when I was younger, we actually had to win our ribbons. Earn them. Now, everyone gets the same ribbons whether they won a game or not!April Plummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000526454256802504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152710377778718003.post-21221455237563808962012-01-19T09:25:11.656-08:002012-01-19T09:25:11.656-08:00Thanks Amanda!Thanks Amanda!Liv Rancourthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171029958375171223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152710377778718003.post-15388617555790842002012-01-19T07:18:07.604-08:002012-01-19T07:18:07.604-08:00Wow, high school sure has gotten a lot more compli...Wow, high school sure has gotten a lot more complicated...best of luck to your daughter!Amandahttp://amandakbyrne.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152710377778718003.post-76329976847731848442012-01-18T15:29:40.070-08:002012-01-18T15:29:40.070-08:00Thanks Melissa!
