The great race to squeeze in all of the school years continues. Here we are at sophomore year already.This was a good and active year for the Schnoogs. After doing PE her freshman year, Holly learned that she could take an activity that would serve as her PE credit, making her least favorite task of running laps a bad and distant memory. A few of her friends from church and classes were in Color Guard, so Schnoogs walked on the field on the first day of school, tried out and made it.
We later learned that it is pretty rare that someone gets to just walk on and try out, especially once the season has started (they gear up through the summer to be ready for the competitions in Fall). This just proves what I have been telling my child for years...she can do just about anything when she puts her mind to it.
Too bad she wasn't as interested in putting her mind to homework during sophomore year. She just about killed me (or was it the other way around?) with the ongoing relaxed approach to homework. By the way, when I say "relaxed", I really mean "refused."
Thankfully, time and maturity have marched on, resulting in a student who does not have to be nagged to do her homework!
