Did you hear that?
It is the sound of me jumping up and down.
It is the sound of me shouting for joy.
It is the sound of one certain principal's theory about my child zooming down the toilet.
Ohhhhh - in case the news has not yet made it across town, Punk was one of a handful of 4th & 5th graders to receive the Presidential Academic Excellence Award today. Yes I say - "EXCELLENCE" not "troubling" or "unmotivated" or even "pretty decent" - EXXXXCCCCEELLLLLEENNNNCE.
It means he had to have over a 90% GPA in everything he did. In addition, he had to exhibit exemplary citizenship/leadership skills. Not "disturbing" or "concerning" citizenship skills not even "good" - EXEMPLARY.
He has a golden pin and certificate to prove it - which he has been proudly displaying all day.
And even though this is what I expect of him, we are still pretty proud of the guy, and I must admit it feels reallllllllllllly good to gloat.

Gloat all you want...WAY TO GO, PUNK!!
I hope you got some candy or ice cream out of the deal!
Totally gloat!! It's awesome!!!
One upside to this is that it shows Punk that just because someone thinks something about you is no reason to not still do your best. It shows him that pushing on in the face of fools often nets a bigger sense of pride in self than just having done well does.
