Brilliant!!

My daughter was invited to collect a mystery award at school once. It turned out they were giving awards to the highest achieving students in each subject and the students who had made the most improvement - in other words, the ones who started at the bottom of the class and actually moved up from the bottom. It was like "well done for being brilliant" to one kid and "well done for trying, despite still being a dunce" to the other. Yeah, my daughter scored the dunce award...

I write creative nonfiction essays and poetry. Rethinking life through my words. Sometimes too seriously, sometimes not seriously enough.
