SOLSC: A Visit: The Conclusion - 22/31

The Slice of Life Story Challenge 
is hosted by the Two Writing Teachers.
A Visit: The Conclusion
     Part 1  -  Part 2  -  Part 3


I read her twelve page research paper many times over.  I thought to myself, "I didn't have to write anything like this until I was in college!"  Overall, I was impressed.  She did it.  She was able to thoroughly defend her thesis with evidence supported from her research.  My fingers are crossed that her teachers agree!

Re: Thank you!


Thank you so much for all your help today. I'm sorry that it was last minute, but you really helped a lot and I greatly appreciate it!  I just finished and it feels great.  


Of course, I wanted to include you.  After all, you're where I got my start :) And I will definitely include you in my future college apps and essays. 


Again, thank you so much for everything! You're the greatest!  :)  You know I will keep in touch, I always do!

    And that's the reason we do the things we do for students--the sincere thank-you. That appreciation for someone who went above and beyond to help. You have obviously meant a great deal to this student.

    How sweet! It must mean SO much to have her value your opinion.

    I love her words "after all, you're where I got my start." Notes like this mean so much. Sniff! :)

    It's quite a special gift you were given, & you helped her one more time! She has a mentor in you, maybe for a long, long time. I really liked these installments, anticipating what was going to happen next.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-i...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...
