I refrained from boasting when my daughter won an award for writing last week and I didn't gush about her high GPA or the speech she wrote for her election to student council, but this I can't pass up. I have to post about her latest honor because I am so proud of her.
She was nominated by a teacher and accepted by members of the Congressional Board to attend the Congressional Youth Leadership Council in January to represent our district. It's a four day conference in which she will learn leadership development (self-awareness, leadership techniques, presentation skills and group dynamics) and then she'll be able to practice leadership skills (conflict management, decision making and project management).
I feel it's an opportunity of a lifetime and she's equally excited about going even though she'll have to make a presentation in front of 430 Congress members and who-knows how many other students. Did I mention she's only going to be a freshmen next year?

You SHOULD brag. Loudly and often. :)
I think if more parents bragged - more children would strive to make their parents proud!!!
She should be proud of herself!
Just thinking about public speaking is making me nervous right now!
I don't think we should ever be embarrassed to brag about our kids on our blogs. There should be more of it!
Congrats to the proud Mama and her clever daughter.

Wow! You've done well, Michelle. I hope I can raise children as wonderful as yours. I love both Steven and Emily and can't get over how smooth and easy they're making the teenage years look. You are blessed. Congratulations to Emily, I would be proud too. :o)
