Well she is MC'ing the multicultural assembly next monday, and proudly bringing in the Welsh flag. She isn't afraid to stand up and speak- she also lead an assembly/presentation about her French immersion trip, and had the lead role in a play in French last term ( that nobody except the families invoved came to see). I know she is a great kid: I just wish more people could see that.

She always gets the merit prize at school, for trying hard, but never the proficiency prize, which is given to those who are top of the tree academically. To me, trying your best is better than getting rewarded for something you are naturally good at, but to hear others talk, you would think it was something to be pitied - not good enough for the top prizes.
