On Monday, my guidance counselor gave me a packet that could change my life. It was the application for Meadowbrook. I was SOOOO happy. But, my parents aren't so sure. It is a very advanced school. For example, we study 9 and 10th grade math in seventh grade. It has very strict criteria. Here it Is:
Criterion 1
Pass all fifth grade SOL tests
successfully complete all elementary school subjects with an average of C+ or better.
Upon acceptance, maintain a 3.0 GPA at the end of each semester.
Maintain 95% of attendance an punctuality rates.
Criterion 2
submit two teacher recommendations from two different teachers. One of the recommendations must be from the mathematics teacher. If the student has the same teacher for Mathematics and English, the second recommendation must be from one of the following teachers: Art, Music, or Physical Education. If the student has two different teachers for Mathematics and English, the recommendations must come from the Mathematics and English teachers.
Submit on recommendation from a community Representative. The guidance counselor cannot complete this recommendation. A community Representative is defined as someone, not employed by Norfolk Public Schools or related to the student,who has worked with the student in a supervisory capacity.
submit a copy of the latest report card.
Submit a signed and dated student and parent/ guardian Admissions Agreement Contract.
Submit an essay in the students own handwriting( may be print or in cursive). The essay should be the students own work.
As you can see, this is a very strict, very hard, very good school. It is also difficult to get into. I really want this. Please give me your support!!!!!

Harley, I'm sure you'll do fine. You've never gotten a single B, and you are probably the best essay writer I have ever met. I hate lotteries. Our teachers adore you, and their reccomendations are sure to be positive. I hate lotteries. Take my word for it, the only way you might not get in is the lottery. Have I mentioned that I hate lotteries? Oh, man...now I sound like Mrs. K..."I HATE pancakes. I LOVE belgian waffles..." I cannot understand that woman. Oh, and it says that the blue group wrote this, but it was really Colleen. The blue group is just my blogging ID.
