Something to Celebrate

Caroline tried out for the select summer girls lacrosse league team, and she made it! Most of the girls on this U15 team are already in high school. The head of the league came up to my husband and asked where in the world Caroline came from, because she was really good and he had never seen her before. We explained the broken ankle and the missed season, but I have a feeling that a lot of people will be asking where she came from, given her incredible talent on the field. God has given her quite a gift and we are thankful that she has something she can call her own. Maybe it will lead to a college scholarship one day! The next five years are going to be so important in determining the direction of her life in her twenties. We just hope she can graduate from high school! She is very smart, but bipolar disorder in kids and teens has a way of dampening their academic performance due to a lot of missed school, slow processing speed due to the drugs, short term memory issues, etc. One step at a time. Final exams this week and the next, then summer is upon us!
