Elizabeth has always worked very hard in school and tried to do her best. She has taken honors and AP classes throughout high school and has done well. A week ago, Matthew, Elizabeth and I were able to attend a "Top Ten Percent" dinner sponsored by the Plainfield Rotary Club for the graduating seniors in the top ten percent of their class.
It was held at the Bolingbrook Country Club (very lovely) and the dinner was YUM! Each person was served two pieces of chicken, which was too much to eat at one sitting. Because it was SOOO good, and I hated to see it go to waste, I was SOOO tempted to ask them to box up the extras to take home. (One less meal I have to cook!) Elizabeth was mortified that I would even consider this idea....in deference to her and her nice evening, I didn't embarass her and ask to take home the leftovers....Anyway, back to the evening....
Each senior was introduced, told what they had done in high school, where they were going to college, and given a certificate and medal for their efforts.
I think one of the best school assignments Elizabeth did was in first grade. That year her class read a Scholastic News article on the President and she had to write a sentence to the President of the United States on how he could do his very best.
At that time, Bill Clinton was the President. In her neatest writing, Elizabeth wrote, "Don't make bed decisions." Touche'!
