All the best to your granddaughter! I'm sure she will do fantastic!

to both of you x

congrats to her!

To struggle with ADHD and then repeat a year must have been very discouraging, but obviously she kept plugging away. You have good reason to be very proud of her.

Hope she realizes her dreams there.

of support from everyone of us in the family so she is good. Life is all about trying and trying again, isn't it?

If nothing else, she will really appreciate the opportunity she is getting to go to the school of her dreams. I am sure you will remind her often that she earned that spot because of her hard work.

Keep us posted on her progress.

ADHD is difficult to say the least. Happy to know she's not letting it consume her future

She actually talked about her struggle with it, her failures as well as her successes. She didn't sugarcoat anything and she vigorously pursued it with the admissions office folks and that must have impressed them. I mean, at one point she even visited after she had applied to talk to the admissions office people. She was pretty up front about
her enthusiasm to go there.

School love students who are honest and tell it like it is. I work at a University and I can vouch for that. Some kids are so fake that you can not believe it. We have gotten to the point where we see right through that. Ever wonder why a straight "A" student with 4 leadership and other things and get turned down…..FAKINESS. You raised your children who raised your grandchildren right. You should be so proud. What a great Grandparent you are.

I am trying not to sugarcoat her problems here, even tho I am so heartfelt in my love for her, my first grandchild! It broke my heart when she got into such trouble with school and now I am so joyful for her success! For a while I didn't think she would EVER get the success she should have gotten...

You and your granddaughter are awesome! You deserve all the accolades possible and so does your Granddaughter.

I do hope she does some research and carefully picks the right major for her. Marine biology is fun, but it is not a high demand field. Just hope she goes in with eyes open.

into other environmental sciences which is available at C of C. We'll see. ...

Confederate sympathizer named college prez, students rebel

Source: MSNBC

The College of Charleston is tearing at the seams as outraged students and alumni protest the selection of its next president – a defender of the Confederacy with a history of championing the Rebel Flag.

The board of trustees’ selection of Republican Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell, a Civil War re-enactor who for years led the fight to keep the Confederate flag hanging over South Carolina’s capital building, comes just two years after the college embarked on an ambitious campaign to attract more minority students.

Critics say McConnell’s appointment will tarnish the college’s reputation and hinder efforts to diversify the student body, which with just 6% black students has one of the lowest student diversity rates in the state.

Both the student government and faculty Senate have issued unanimous votes of no-confidence in the school’s board of trustees. The board has not budged, insisting it stands by McConnell’s selection.
