[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]mine's due today. been struggling for two days to put anything meaningful... and it's made me realize i don't know my child very much to write about "...an anecdote (or anecdotes) from your child's high school years that best reflect your child's character, integrity, compassion for others, and/or maturity..." or "...events or experiences you feel have significantly influenced your student..."[/quote]

I think I know my kid quite well and I am still having trouble with this part. And I didn't with the previous brag sheet. Current junior just doesn't happen to have useful anecdotes from the high school years. [/quote]

I have a kid who is a great student, involved in extracurriculars and all.  No bad grades I need to explain.  No growth in maturity about school I can talk about (was always pretty responsible and diligent).  No home situations I need to explain in particular.  Very hard to fill these forms out.[/quote]

I had to rack my brain for anything interesting or unusual to talk about.  It was much harder than it sounds.[/quote]

Maybe try just telling it honestly?  I wrote about how my kid isn't the one drawing attention to herself, but she dives in deeply to be a behind the scenes on-line expert.    I think it’s more believable when you draw a contrast.[/quote]
