Student update
The latest student report from our household:
Daughter will pass her junior year in high school with great grades. She’s been out of school for almost a week. She’ll have two friends over from Geneva this week, then she’s off to Marseille for a week with a buddy from Lausanne to do the mini-spiritual internship there.
Son 2 is in the middle of his finals to get out of high school. He’s done very well. Did I tell you he got 1560 on his math-English SAT scores? (He takes after his aunt…) He’ll have some time off before serving as a counselor at the two-week long kids’ camp. Then he’ll do the year-long spiritual internship in Marseille starting mid-September.
Son 1 begins his exams on Thursday. He has worked very hard, and is working hard, preparing for these exams and the ones at the end of August. Only 30 of the 150 students will be allowed to continue into second year. He won’t have much of a break this summer… A sincere “poor guy†escapes my lips. Really.
Of course, our futures are in God’s hands. Bless his name!
(My mistake. It was 1540, not 1560. My math scores weren’t that good.)

You’ve got some smart, hard-working kids there!

Yeah, I know what it’s like to have 3 kids who break all my records–very humbling. Bunch of upstarts. Oh well, they must increase while I must decrease.
Good grief, a 1560!? Can you say “Hello Harvard?” Or was that Harding? If you kinda slur it a little, people can’t tell the difference. I should know.
Whatever it is that they’re serving in those Swiss schools, how ’bout bottling up a few cases and sending them over our way, wouldya?

I can add every math score I ever made and not come up with 1540! I’m impressed.

Impressive score. I made a pretty design on the math portion of the SAT.
