rough year..but good news!

[waggy]

Ok i have had a shitty year.

A couple of years ago me and my wife got custody of her little sister (we pretty much raised her anyway). Well last week she was accepted into the National Honer Society and got straight A's (yet again). She is also getting a crap load of scholarships (woot less we have to pay) and we are going on a few trips to check out colleges.

its nice to get some good news and things come together.

now to find her a cheap laptop though she did put her car in a ditch this year and we helped pay for that. mm maybe she don't need another graduation gift hehe.

TLDR: just a brag thread about one of my "kids"

sweet. what schools are you looking at?

 

[waggy]

we are going to one during spring break. i think its northwestern but not 100% sure (unless i write things down i forget. bad memory). She wants to go to northwestern or UIUC but hasn't really made up her mind.

she has put in a bunch of applications.

While fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life...fat, drunk and happy is a-ok.

Just going to come out here and say it: how do you not know how to spell honor?

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Congrats! My youngest just graduated as a Physical Therapy Assistant. She'll probably get a job paying more than mine.

Maybe she's going to college to master the art of sharpening objects?

You are paying for your sister-in-laws college? Really? I'm irritated I pay for my brother-in-laws cell phone.

Isn't that a great feeling? Amazing how quickly I got used to letting the kids pay when we went out for dinner - grin.

well we did pretty much raise her and we do have custody of her. so we do think its part of our job.

though all said and done i doubt we have to pay much. its rather amazing the amount of scholarships she has received and she has been a tad bit lazy on them.

I still can't get my mother or my in laws to let me pay for dinner.

Or maybe she plays a mean harmonica?

 

[Powermoloch]

it's good that she has a loving family

:thumbsup:

cant believe noone had said it yet...

PICS?!

 

[waggy]

no pics. though she is 18 now.

she is a sweet girl. A tad bit to mature for her age though.

 

[PowerEngineer]

I hope she has lots of scholarships! Northwestern tuition runs are $40k (three quarters) and another $10k-$15k for room and board. Good luck!

Congrats
