Today, I watched my beautiful, smart, sensitive, and responsible young sweetheart walk up to the front of the gym to receive her Cardinal Pride Award.  I can’t imagine many people that deserve it more.  She was quite surprised…as I did my best to make up a believable reason for my presence in her school gym this morning.  My sweet girl always does her best to follow the rules, show respect for others, lend a helping hand when needed, encourage the accomplishment of others, and as well, she puts forth a great effort to meet her own goals and accomplishments.  She is most definitely one of my star students and this Momma couldn’t be more proud..
