I haven't posted in the brag forum yet. Yesterday was probably my proudest moment with my DD#1. She came home with her induction information for the National Junior Honor Society. She plays three sports at school on top of travel ball and lessons yet she still maintains great grades. I struggled playing one sport a year.
She asked what I was most excited about last night, her shot at playing varsity as a 7th grader or the honor society. I explained the honor society was a much bigger deal. Academics will open a lot more doors for her than softball ever will. I told her it is also a reflection on her work ethic which will help her long after softball is over. I did also let her know her grades will open softball opportunities that she otherwise may not get. I think that increased her excitement and hopefully will help keep her motivated.
