We are so happy and inspired tonight once again.. We received our annual scholarship applications and made our preliminary pass through them.. Picking out the best of the brightest and most socially conscientious by their activities and essays.. We are good writers and HAVE a great understanding of life.. At least we think we do and we do ..

Good enough for us so we go mostly on their writings of why they think they are at where they are now because of their life experiences and who to thank..

We do not really have to look at their class room work as it is all off the charts, with mostly AP classes from one of top high schools in the country..

BTW, I did not say there was 29 apps to us.. A record, but maybe the word is getting out.. :).. As we add more recipients throughout the years or maybe it is the economy, I don't know..

But we noticed more applicants put UC,Davis as a place they have chosen to attend, although not required, but we have had UCD as a preference on the app in DEFERNCE and our LOVE of Sev and where and which he loved.... :)

Sometime here, I might post some excerpts from some of these student's writings, they are just mind expanding.. :)
