Whispering Hope

The life and times of my daughter, Stephanie Hope. Stephanie came to us in May of 2005 and her adoption was finalized in October of 2006. She is 16 years old and struggles with Bipolar Disorder, Major Depression, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Post Traumatic Stess Disorder as a result of a lifetime of abuse and neglect.

Report Card Day

Stephanie got her report card today.

Biology - 85
English 9 - 80
World History - 94
Band - 100
Wellness - 84
Service Learning - 100
Algebra 2 - 81

GPA - 2.86

3 A's and 4 C's. Four C's seems like a bit much to me. She promised me at her last progress report that there wouldn't be more than one C. Still, it is a lot better than her grades last year. There were always several C's and D's and usually an F or two. She is trying harder, but not near as hard as she could be. She works hard at it 2-3 nights a week and thinks that means she can slack the other nights. I don't think she understands just how competitve the market for scholarships is. Luckily, the 1st semester of ninth grade doesn't go on your transcript, so she still has a little time to buckle the rest of the way down - of course I am not telling HER that!
