Tonight the man and I have been invited to our daughter's year 10 awards night where she will receive 1 maybe 2 awards.

Awards are good and all but I'm more proud that she has a road to follow now after starting her secondary education in absolute chaos.

It's good that some of her teachers have taken an interest in her education by saying "hey you're really good at this subject. You should stick with it". My husband and I can only go so far with her and it's good to see some of these teachers step up.

She's worked out that being smart isn't good enough if you don't put in any work.
