Thank you - sad ending(sort of) to the story. She was in 11th grade, taking a couple college courses with her hs courses, making Dean's list, honor roll, able to graduate hs a year early, already had a full scholarship to Coastal Carolina or a partial scholarship to any other SC college when my dh died and we had to move back to PA. When she tried to register in school, they wouldn't accept her credits (yes, this backwoods area is still fighting the Civil War) and told her she would have to start the following year in the 10th grade. That would make her 20 when she graduated. So, she dropped out, went back to SC on her own, took adult ed and graduated in the top 5% of the state, made National Honor Society and did it all before the rest of her original hs class in SC graduated. We are very proud. And I applaud any student that is offered the chance to take the John Hopkins PSAT's. They are very hard and very scarey. But to take them is such a great experience and it gives the students a confidence that they might not have had otherwise. It's a wonderful opportunity - I just wish it could be offered to all students.
