Seventh grade was an unusually stressful year. After an AMAZING sixth grade year, the pressure was on for all good things in seventh grade, and, for the most part, the year went well. Emmy earned all A+s (with only one A) for two of the four grading periods, with all As in the other two. She started in soccer, ran track, and served as point guard and co-captain for the basketball team-- WOW!!
However, she really struggled with the lack of sleep, and we even ended up dropping science fair because she just couldn't do it all. Emmy loved student council at Morrison, but her home room teacher just picked the room rep (not giving Emmy a chance), and the election for president this spring didn't go her way either. (heavy sigh...)
As we enter the summer, we have committed to working on balance and perspective. Emmy has so much to look forward to and so much to offer, and we are already excited about opportunities and adventures in eighth grade.
