Yesterday Brad came home with a letter from the school stating that he scored in the top 1% of the Nation in math. Therefore Brad is eligible to take the ACT and the SAT through Duke University. I am not sure if there is a benefit to having Brad take the ACT or the SAT while still in middle school but it would be interesting to see how he scores on exams usually given to just high school juniors. Right now, I am leaning toward registering Brad to take the SAT in January. Regardless, I am very proud of Brad.
What would keep a person up past 3:30 am? Decisions... As most of you know we have been using ALF (American Liver Foundation) for Ashley's Liver Transplant Fund. However, in the past year, we have found that ALF is not offering us what we need among a few other reasons which I will not blog about. When we opened Ashley's account with ALF we did so quickly after the death of my dad during Christmas 2006 and New Year 2007, we did not have time to research the best fundraising organizations. There are so many organizations out there from ALF , COTA , NTAF . But because of my dad's untimely death and because his dying wish was that friends, family, etc. donate to Ashley to help defray our medical costs, the first organization that came to mind was the American Liver Foundation. After all, Ashley does have a liver disease. Now, both my husband and I are wondering if we should have used COTA. We have also thought and inquired about opening up a local trust fund for Ashley. Howeve...
