My daughter kicks ass. It was her Grade 8 Graduation tonight, she moves on to high school next year. She won the awards for Drama and Science. The scholars award, her school letter award. And her schools top award as well, the Excellence in Education award.
I didn't know that winning a grade school graduation was a thing you could do, but she showed me.....holy crap am I ever proud of her.
Add to that, she's been studying martial arts since she was 4 years old, she has her brown belt now, and her sensei is trying to slow her down, because he's not allowed to give her a black belt until she turns 18. He's teaching her things that are above her belt in order to keep her challenged. Her "Goals" section that they asked her to fill out, the answer she put down was so balanced...it talked about a work/life balance, jesus christ, she gets it. And her quote, a doctor who quote of all things, just shows how much she values the people around her.
I mean....I'm just....fuck, I'm crying......
Holy hell.....I've got one amazing kid. Jesus Christ....I am just completely beside myself right now.
