I am in school. I run on my school's track team. My mom is a homemaker.
I work in a library. I often find my job boring. I play the flute. I have three children. All of my children are under age 9. Two of my children are in school. I take a boat across a river to work.
I just got a letter informing me that I won a track scholarship! I guess I'm college-bound after all. That's great news! I'm so happy for you. Have you decided on a college? Looks like it has been decided for me! Haha! The scholarship offer is from the University of Houston and they have had some great track athletes over the years! I'm just so excited! I didn't think this would happen for me! I wasn't sure if the scholarship was awarded directly from a college or from a private organization. University of Houston huh, that's a great school. I'm excited for you too!  From the school! Taking care of room and board too! Tell your kids to start running! It can pay off! Haha! I'll definitely tell them. There's so many scholarship options available these days. I hope there's still plenty of those options when my kids are in high school. There really are. Like you said, plenty of private organizations give them out also. A friend of mine just got one from his local little league organization as their way of giving back! They give out 3 $1000 scholarships every year and he was lucky to receive one of them. Just have to keep your eyes open for them! You're absolutely right! How is your mom doing? I bet she's so proud! She is ecstatic! I don't think I've ever seen her so happy! I think we might have to go out to celebrate! She's always supported me and getting me to all those practices! Aww, that's so sweet. My heart is so happy for the both of you. How much longer until you finish up with school? Only have the last 2 weeks to go so this scholarship definitely came at the last minute for me to start planning for next year. Are your kids almost done with school? What grades are they in? My two that are in school are in 2nd and 3rd grade. Their last day is next Tuesday. They are very happy that it's almost time for summer vacation.
