She even surprised me.
Question:
For those of you that have been around AST for awhile probably have heard me brag about my daughter. Well, she has gone and done something that even surprised even me. She got herself invited to join a very special academic program next year when she goes to high school. Some of you may have heard of it. It’s call the "International Baccalaureate Program". It has been explained to mom and I as being an academically elite program for talented and gifted kids. To get an invitation she had to score in the 90th percentile nationally on the ITBS test. The principal of the local high school explained it to us as a program for the best of the best. I have always known that she was smart. But this has surprised even me. Every year only about 160 kids out of over 6,000 in the school district are selected. Okay, I’ll quit bragging for the time being. But I reserve the right to continue at a later date. Mark
