[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My senior says “I came this far, I’m not screwing it up now.”   It’s clear that DL is causing mental and physical strain, though, so without that motivation, I’m fairly certain that I would be seeing a lot less effort at this point. [/quote]

This is my junior. And there is no humble brag here. I’m frankly surprised. She has ADHD and spring was mess.  2 B-s (and 5 As) because she just couldn’t manage to get 3rd Q assignments in for two classes, no matter how many chances she got.  I was dreading this year and thought it would be a frustrating mess. But, she did not like where she ended up last spring and agreed to an EF coach. And put 110% in this fall.  Will end Q3 with 6As and @ B+, 4 APs.  And now that she is doing well, she is more motivated than she was a year ago.  She says this is the most important year for college, that her teachers seem to love that she is prepared and participating and that she has worked too hard to prove to colleges that she could take all the crap COVID threw at her amd keep going.  In e fall, she wanted to do well.  Right now, she is determined to finish strong and really have something to show for this year.  To not let COzvID and FCPs and DL win.

Like I said. Not a brag or humble brag. This is not what I predicted would happen and my kid has her share of unenviable traits.  She is very stubborn and very determined. I think we got very lucky she channeled it into proving she can succeed, rather than proving DL sucks and and she is destined to fail. Because it really could have gone either way. [/quote]

But it is a brag. No one cares about this (level of detail). [/quote]
