What does happy look like?

Happy looks like this:



Here at FKHS students generally don't take Advanced Placement classes until their junior year. Annabelle, however, has taken 2 APs (English and US History, also called "APUSH") as a freshman. It has been scary at times, and she has worked her butt off, even pulling the occasional all-nighter, but she has done great and hung in there with the best and brightest of the junior class.

Today was the national APUSH exam, and English will be next week. She won't know her score until sometime later in the summer, but she felt really good about it when it was over. Perhaps that was the lucky socks doing their work? She had put them away a couple weeks ago to let them build up their special powers for the AP exams.

After the test, her class stopped at the food court at the mall for lunch. I filched this picture from a classmate's Facebook wall:



Now that's a whole lot of happy!

That's awesome!! She should definitely keep it up. Between AP and IB classes, I had 22 credits going in to college, which made it a whole lot easier to take classes that I really wanted to take and even get a minor. All the hard work now will definitely pay off for her later!!
