My daughter has been accepted to college
She’s the 3rd generation of my family to go to college. 2nd generation of my wife’s family and I say that out of respect for my Father in law- he came out of the hollers (railroad - hard ass).
Her high school has been a weird time. She’s a COVID kid. Her middle school was brutal. She did work (International Bachelorette) and projects beyond what I did for the first years of college. Of course I was a bad student. I got an accounting degree after 10 years (Army included).
She’s a good person. She started a LGBTQ+ club in high school. I’ve shielded her as much as possible from politics but we do discuss News and governing.
She’s ADHD. I couldn’t understand her not turning in
homework. Drove me crazy.
She has some other applications out there - W&M UVA-Wise - but she got the 👍 from VCU. It’s where her mother/my wife met.
Okay bragging a bit

And mom! Hope this means she'll be able to stay close to home, if that's what she wants.
I remember when she was born! Not gonna lie, the passage of time is something I really only notice when I look at our kids. I probably should feel embarrassed by that, but it's a fact, and I cannot deny it.
Underpants, it sounds like you guys raised a terrific kid. I'm not at all surprised, by that, but the thing that strikes me is your comment that she's a nice person. The academic stuff is wonderful, and absolutely something to be proud of, but realizing and celebrating her character tells me everything about the values your family demonstrated and modeled for her. WELL done!
Kevsand and I also have a daughter. We pretty much raised her in politics. I joked for years that she was probably gonna do the teen rebellion thing and become a Rush Limbaugh fan. She didn't. She has entered a career that is political, and that was by her choice. We told her a long time ago that you have to stand for something, and I am so very proud of her for what she chooses to stand up for. She is running for a city wide office in two years, and already people are coming to her to ask how they can help her win. She's gonna do just fine. I'm enormously proud of her. She's good people.
These DU offspring are pretty incredible! Love to you, and congratulations!

(But a little bit more to her - she's the one that's going to Uni, after all. 
)
Your daughter's numbers are virtually identical to those of my middle step-grand, and she should take pride in them, because they are no mean feat. "My grad" sure takes pride in her work and accepts nothing less than excellence from herself.
Her extra-curriculars were through the roof, too. Varsity basketball and volleyball, sings the national anthem at school events, first chair flute in the county orchestra, performed a leading role in the Drama Club's annual production (and now she's hooked!) and for her first term at uni, she will be placed in second semester of second year, because she's also taken a ton of extension courses.
And, I believe her career path at this point will gladden the good people here. She's aiming to be an investigative journalist.
Sending best wishes and joy from one family to another.
I'm kind of assuming you meant International Baccalaureate (which I have to look up how to spell every time), and not Bachelorette. Although the latter sounds like an interesting program 
And congrats to you, too!
