Model Student

Kacie was never one to apply herself in school. She was always content to just get by. I tried everything to motivate her including offering her cash for good grades. Nothing seemed to work until I had a talk with her while she was in her junior year of high school. I explained to her that she would not be going to college like her friends unless her grades improved. English and most other subjects came easy to her so it was just a matter of trying, although math is another story. Our talk seemed to work. Proof of this is the framed certificate which hangs on our wall and reads as follows-
