The kids last day of school was Friday, June 6. It has been a very long year and both Brad and Ashley have worked hard at school. Ashley received her report card on the last day of school and received 3 A's and 2 B's; she is officially a 5th grader. She only missed a total of 11 days this year not bad for someone with a chronic illness. I try hard to schedule all of Ashley's tests, surgeries and doctors visits, etc. during school breaks which helps minimize her absences in school.
Brad did really well in school too. He made straight A's his entire 6th grade year. He was worried about his Algebra class because he did not feel good about his final exam, which had a total of 190 points. We have no idea what he made on his Algebra exam but it doesn't matter because he finished his 6th grade year with a 4.0 GPA.
As a mom, I am very proud of both kids, not just because they have good grades but because they maintained those grades with their very busy after-school schedule. Ashley taking 6 hours of dance a week and Brad's very busy baseball schedule with two different teams and his dedication to obtaining his black belt in Karate. These kids amaze me, and I am so very proud of them.
Now that school is out, you would think we would also be done with baseball and dance but no such luck. Beginning of summer in our house still means dance continues with Summer Intenstive Dance Camp at the end June for Ashley and a National dance competition in July. For Brad, we have finished games with his two baseball teams but he was picked to play for the Oviedo Babe Ruth 11U All Star team. Therefore, baseball continues through June and if the team wins district and state Brad could potentially be playing through July and August. And of course, Karate never ends...only 9 more months until he is a black belt.
The kids never complain about their busy lives, they thrive with adversity and love what they do. As long as the kids are happy, do well in school; we will continue to support their dreams.
