Inspiring..
4 days after my eldest got her (long awaited) EAD she cut her foot open on a piece of glass.. it was pretty awful, and she was on crutches and couldn't drive. She was devastated to say the least, but she had me drive her around and hopped into different restaurants and stores to pick up application forms. She had 2 interviews, and got both jobs 
Monday night she was in agony with her wisdom teeth, and woke up yesterday with a swollen face
Today she started both jobs, one this morning, the other this afternoon - so off she goes with her 'funny' shoe on and a swollen face, happy as a pig in sh!t - gotta admire that 
Here's a pic of her foot - its pretty messed up, be warned..

That truly is admirable, she's hardcore. I wish more kids were like her.
