Alec and Sam are completely different when it comes to schoolwork. Sam appears to put forth very little effort and always seems to pull out an A. School just comes easy to him. When he comes home with homework he does it immediately. He barely even waits to have a snack first. Sam knows that when his homework is out of the way, he can play all day without being interrupted by it later.
Alec, on the other hand, struggles and procrastinates. This is no big secret. He outwardly laughs that he drives his parents crazy with his work habits. He's the kind of kid that, if left alone, will decide that bedtime is the time to drag out the textbooks. Sometimes he even waits until the morning and crams it all in around brushing his teeth and meticulously sculpting his hair. So when he entered Middle School last September, I was terrified his grades would really suffer. Middle School is, after all, much harder than Elementary. But . . . au contraire . . . .
Alec earned straight A's all year long. Because of this he was awarded "Outstanding Student" in English, Science, Social Studies and Math. And each year the faculty presents a trophy to one student who they feel will go on to do amazing things in each particular field of study. Guess who was chosen for SCIENCE??? Yep, Alec! Tim could not have been prouder since he has taught Science for the last 13 years. On top of all that, Alec's fellow classmates voted him most likely to become a millionaire. I'm not sure what that's about but I sure hope they're right!
Alec get his Science Award:
Congratulations Alec! We're so proud of you!!!
