Yay Caedyn!
Hey, young man:
I know you might hear from kids at school that it's no big deal, or you might see kids acting like it's not cool to be smart in school.
Well, listen. I'm a public high school teacher. I'm also a professor. I have seen thousands of students in my time (my God I'm old). Making the Honor Roll -is- a big deal. Not everyone can do it. It's not as flashy as scoring 81 points in a basketball game or having all kinds of girls call you up on the phone (am I too early for that?) but it is still an honor. You and Mom and Dad should be proud. I don't know you, never met you, but if you'll allow some old guy to give you a piece of advice, it'd be this:
Enjoy this. Celebrate it. Be glad of your smarts and hard work. Don't let people tell you it's dorky or anything. You have yourself an award there, maybe a certificate, and you should indeed take it to your room and just sort of stare at it. And you should smile when you do.
Congratulations, Caedyn.
--Some Old Guy
And to Mom and Dad...we do all kinds of studies to try and figure out why some kids are successful in school and why some aren't. We always come back to the same single factor. It's not race, it's not socioeconomics, it's not even raw talent.
It's parental involvement. Every time. Studies vary in their conclusions on other factors, but the one constant that keeps coming back is that. When parents are involved in their child's education, the child does better. Period.
Congratulations to you two as well.
--Sean
