I think parents sometimes get too much credit for a good child.  Sure, parents play a huge role in the development of their childrens’ lives, but that is our job as parents, and we should relish the privilege.  In this blog, I hope you will endulge a proud father a little while I sing praises about my daughter, Ivanka, who deserves credit for her accomplishments.

To begin, I think I was very lucky to be blessed with such a wonderful child.  Ivanka has made her mom and dad very proud.  She is respectful, hard working, and modest.  All at ten years of age.  And at this time of year, we also get the added treat of receiving her report card.  This is what her teacher had to say on the report:  “Ivanka is a remarkably diligent student with wonderful self-control, and her outstanding grades reflect this.”  Her marks were all A+ or E (excellent), and her tests scores ranged from 98% to 103%.    I think that in some of her subjects, she did not miss a test question all year long.  Her success can be attributed to her maturity, hard work, and focus on the important things.  I guess it bears repeating, I am very fortunate to have such a great daughter.  I think my wife and I will have to find some special ways this week to let her know how proud we are of her.
