Well I tried to search and bum but the search is not my friend and I am lazy. The following is a brag so if you don't like that piss off.

So, earlier in the school year I had bragged that my daughter #1 (a senior in HS) screwed off quite a bit and got in trouble etc for the first couple years and maybe more of HS. Then this school year before holidays she was give an award from a foundation for being the most improved academic student in her school. he got announced with a few others in different categories at her school assembly and a $250 prize. It was very cool and we were quite proud.

It seems there was like 5 categories for different things or something per school. Well what I didn't know was as part of this after the award the foundation interviews each of the winners. Gets the back story and so on and for whatever reason they do that.

Well to my surprise she contacts me from school today. It seems her story of overcoming her adversity and having determination was impressive to them. So out of all of the categories at each school and then all of the schools in SW Pennsylvania they choose a single student to win their Crystal Owl Student of the Year Award.

Well yep she won it. Holy crap!?! This kid has made me very proud of this turnaround. Much more than my other kids athletic stuff. So I guess in May there will be a big fancy dinner honoring her as well as a teacher, administrator and supporting company of the year. It is supposed to have media for the foundation I assume and a pro athletes involvement (Steeler or Penguin here I assume). I guess somehow they will also do something at the school as no one has ever won this from out town/district.

Some days life just seems like a giant shit pile and you wonder what else you can take. Then you get a good thing that just gets you going again in the game.

Happy, Happy, Happy.

We are not sure what the prize is yet but a crystal owl would look good on a mantle.

I don't think we should be discounting the contributions of the mistress here either. We all play our parts in raising children.

That is very cool. Nice to be able to puff out the chest with pride every once in a while. Doesn't happen
for most of us often enough I'd venture to guess.

You'll kindly notice that I didn't capitalize the "D".

Who do you think I am, FavreFan's brother?

Agreed, it was a very shitty thing for Ike to say.

what? come on people this thread is what it is.... it's a nice thing and obviously everybody feels good for pittmike, but if you didn't laugh at what ike said you don't have a soul. it's that simple.

anyways everybody back to the all-hail-mike circlejerk.... or else!

Saying 'fuck your daughter' to someone doesnt usually get a laugh from me, I guess I'm weird that way...

I was out all day with work and then bar for the game so I just saw this now. Did not get to the comments after yet so... I seriously hope this is some kind of fucked up joke you attempted.
