My daughter was accepted into cosmetology school! She is 17-years-old and has had a hard time in school. We tried everything, but she did not do well. Well, we heard today she was accepted in the school. It is a school that is very difficult to get into, and she made it!

It is one of her few achievements academically, and I am so proud of her. Those of you who know me know she is disabled, and to see her achieve this is a big win! I hope you don't mind me crowing a little.

She is lovely and kind, and she has a wonderful sense of style. Well. that did it! She's in!

Sorry Larry. She is so excited, and I hope she does well. She usually finishes what she starts.

That's great Carol....and I hope she does well.

So, my question for you is....do you let her 'date' yet?
*Carol ~Bronx Southern Belle Y. Jan 11, 2012, 11:36pm UTC
Nope! She is allowed to text, and I take her to the mall for an hour to meet a couple of friends while I hang around.

That's wonderful Carol. You should be proud of her as that's quite an accomplishment.

I am so proud. The first thing I did was drop $200 on uniforms, but she is worth it.

Congratulations to her! Now I cosmotology involves more with skin and hair service as well here in N.C. It is a competitive field but it sure helps to have an average income.

I will help her, and being she is disabled, the state is pitching in some help, too. I am really excited for her.

Congratulations! Sometimes, a person just has to find out what they want to do and what they are good at and outweigh that information with how much it will help someone else if they take the job. There are a lot of people that are good at things, but they hate their jobs. Then, there are others that take time to find out what will work for them and what will do the most good, and sometimes, these are the ones that make the biggest difference.

So much bad news in the world but there is even more good news. Congratulations!! When school is all over it really doesn't matter what score you get as long as you tried your hardest. Many millionaires didn't do so well at school and look at them now!!
