Hannah and the web page.

Hannah is applying to the South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics. (scgssm.org) Being the active Young Makers she is, she wanted to figure a way to impress them with her creativity. She knew she wanted to do something on the internet. While we where brainstorming, we where searching for interesting domain names to park her projects at. In our search, she found that “scgssm.net” was available! Hannah, with the help of some friends ( Charles, Will ), put something together. Here is Hannah’s personal message to the good ‪#‎Govie‬ folks at the Governor’s School:

RIP: Pete Seeger

This is a reference to Pete’s Song “Where have all the flowers gone”. Pete was one of my favourite musicians. He will be missed. This is as awesome tribute cartoon to him!

The rare snow of 2014.

Since it will probably be another few years till we get any more, I guess I am obligated to post a picture or two. Hannah is not out playing in it, rather she is taking advantage or a no school day, and sleeping in.

 
And here is a little video of the animals for good measure.

Melinda is tough.

Melinda is a brutal negotiator. Even I am afraid of her contracts… Because when you go back to check them, you realized she covered her butt well. Here is just a sample of what she does, and she does this on everything that could be misconstrued. Not sure where she learned this practice, but she learned it well.

Hannah’s Art teacher.

Hannah left an art project laying around, so I had to check it out of course. Pretty good, Pretty creative, I like it. But I think I like the teachers comments the best! Talk about Enthusiastic! It’s good to have enthusiastic teachers.

And here is the art in question.

Hannah ACT.. All tests, all the time.

That what it seems like at least! But now its behind her for a while.. the next standardized college exam is now years away for her. I’m sure she is OK with that.

Here is the ACT results. Interestingly enough, Math was her worst subject on this one. Go figure. (And when I say worst, she still did better that 67% of other college bound seniors… smile )  Fortunately, the Govie school takes the best test results from all of the various tests. So that is great news, since she did varying degrees of “well” on all the areas, just not all on the same tests! go figure.

Anyway, she got a 26 on the 1 to 36 scale. Pretty good. Good enough for UCLA to consider her.. Too bad she is a sophomore!

I just have to say here.. I love that I can brag about this stuff, but what I think I want to brag about the most is, she is really doing all of this on her own. I cheer her on, but in true teenage fashion, that only seems to demotivate her… So I try not to act like I’m too involved in her Schooling. I see her applying herself, and that is great, but even better, I see room for her to apply herself even more when the time comes. Also she seems to take life pretty seriously; She likes things done the right way. I think she will go places, and as you know, I think the future is awesome, so, The places she is going to go are going to be awesome!

Hannah PSAT results.

Good results overall. But this girl obviously likes her math. Congratulations Hannah!
