My little Alissa. I blinked and you were done with school. How does time pass so quickly? I remember teaching you how to make your 5's, you worked diligently through your Explode the Code book, once a week at the island in the yellow house we did Mom and Me Having Tea, thankfully you were a good reader and loved to read. That helped lots as you whizzed through history and science books with ease. Memorizing history facts threw you for a little loop, but the concepts were easily remembered! Being a natural writer helped you as you wrote papers on all sort of things. Most recently you wrote papers on all the British Lit books you read- an analysis on Animal Farm, a persuasive essay on Pride and Prejudice on whether Mr. Darcy should have paid Wickham to marry Lydia, a character sketch in A Tale of Two Cities, a review of the satire in Gulliver's Travels, a comparison of two detectives in Brother Cadfael and Father Brown Mysteries- you even wrote your own allegory based on Pilgrim's Progress! You never complained over the hours and hours you spent mastering Saxon Math and managed an A in Apologia's Physical Science and Biology! Remember God Give us Men? :) You were a model student. I don't think you once complained.
I couldn't be more proud of you and all your academic accomplishments. You are one smart cookie!
Happy Graduation, my sweet Ali!
Oh my goodness is all I can say!!
