I would imagine his first assumption about their eventual destination would have only widened the gap. my own grandgirls, the twins, are involved in many service projects but they aren't organized by the school. they have to find their own ways to get service hours for their eventual college applications. congrats to Emily and the quilt is gorgeous!ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-32000133753607129632015-11-19T08:51:12.483-05:002015-11-19T08:51:12.483-05:00It's all very good and I love that you had a g...It's all very good and I love that you had a good laugh about it.

I heard something about mixing with people outside your comfort zone as one of my daughters is researching something relevant to this. She said that one of the findings is that those who seek out people from different backgrounds and interact with them have the (unexpected) benefit of doing better in terms of career and achievement than those who stick with their own group. Emily seems to be proving that point. And now a scholarship - wow!! I've been reading of how she has been progressing over the months and years on your blog, and it's just so great to see her powering along like this.

Emily is getting quite an education in her service class isn't she. Darian is now reading to Third graders in his class.
