A couple of weeks ago we learned that Catherine was being recognized at the undergraduate awards ceremony. We were so very proud of her, and assumed she was being honored for her work in her American History class. Her grade has been really high all year, although the criteria for awards is set by each individual teacher or department. Earlier this week I was talking to her History teacher, and mentioned that I assumed we had her to thank for honoring Catherine. She informed me that it actually wasn't her. I didn't tell Catherine this, but Andrew and I discussed it. We thought perhaps English was a possibility, but we knew we could definitely eliminate Geometry, Personal Finance, and Spanish. As it turned out, Catherine received an "Excellence in Biology" award. She was a little confused, because sometimes she has had a "B" during the year. I pointed out though, that her teacher knew that she was always working hard and trying her best, and that she was being recognized for that. We are so very proud of her.
Honestly, I can't put into words how amazing Catherine is. She was definitely the toughest of the three kids when she was little, but I can't imagine what I would do without her these days. This girl, this young lady, she is so good about taking care of herself. She really wants to take care of her younger brother too, but that doesn't work out so well. 😄 She is my girl, and I love her more than I can put into words. Being proud of her for the Biology award is just the tip of the iceberg!
