A few months ago Caitlyn was recommended for the Governor's School summer program, but did not get in. The denial letter explained she was high on the list.... Though it was a nice letter, as most people would be, she was upset by this news.
Today I got a call from home. Governor's School called and offered her entry into the program. When I talked to Caitlyn she sounded so excited. I have never heard her voice crackle like that. I could tell she was smiling and shaking with pure joy.
I have always been a proud of her. I know we expect a lot and sometimes it may not make sense to her. But, as I try to explain to my kids, the more resources or knowledge you have, the more responsibility and expectations there are.
She thrives on learning and loves literature. This could not have come at a better time. I think she was a little board with school, this summer will allow her to explore and learn with the best students in North Carolina. I just hope the boys are locked up!!!
- where students who are among the best and brightest gather for the love of learning and the joy of creativity
- where teachers and students form a community while searching together for answers to challenging questions
- where there are no grades or tests
- where a synergy of intellectual curiosity fuels the exploration of the latest ideas in various disciplines
