Brooklyn participated in the districts Amazing Shake again this year. Last year she took 2nd place out of 200 something students (you can read about that here) and this year she took 1st place!!!
She spent several days being interviewed again and once again did great! The last day it was the top four being interviewed by some of the district staff members. She was asked questions about things such as AI, if the world is better with or without social media, etc. She did so well and once again she blew me away with how amazing she is.
She had the opportunity to go on to Atlanta Georgia again this year but declined. I was proud of her for making that hard decision and following through with what she knew she wanted with all the pressure of teachers trying to get her to go. She went last year and did not enjoy it. It was a lot and just not right for her. She learned so much about herself on that trip and was happy that she made her own decision to go again knowing she would not enjoy it.
We made sure to celebrate her here at home and told her to pick whatever she wanted for dinner and of course she chose our favorite sushi spot for a delicious dinner.
