    Shameless brag...But I am so proud

    DD graduates high school tomorrow night as Valedictorian. Her guidance counselor just called and gave her the good news. She is graduating with a 4.2 and as Student Government President.

    She received over $270,000 in scholarship offers...

    ...$108,000 to Wofford College
    ...$82,000 to Loyola University
    ...$34,920 to Auburn Montgomery
    ...$54,400 to Judson College

    She has worked her rear off for the past twelve years and is finally seeing HUGE rewards for it.

    I am just so stinking proud of the little toot I could scream!
