Enthusiasm

As Carly's school year winded down, they held Honor's Day. It was an intimate program with Carly and her classmates. Carly got a medal for placing 2nd in her class in the Accelerated Reading program. She ended the year with 223 points. If you consider that most books on her level are worth 1/2 point, she has read and tested almost 500 books!

Carly's teacher also chose a Christian characteristic for each of the children. It was really sweet to hear stories of strength and character outside their academic accomplishments. Carly's characteristic was ENTHUSIASM. Mrs. Camp talked about how Carly was always excited about whatever they were doing and how she loved experiements and class projects. She was always the first to volunteer and see the bright side of everything.

The certificate that Carly was given described Enthusiasm as "Seeing value in situations that would normally discourage others. Learning what pleases God and showing excitement in serving Him" Colossians 3:23

As hard as we work to read, practice math facts, study spelling word, and memorize bible verses, it is a great reminder of the importance of character in our daily lives.
