Scholarships

So we have dropped back to earth and the reality is dawning on us "How in the heck are we going to pay for Rhia to go to Montreat!!!!" We have realized that we are insane. We have realized that this leap of faith that started with the room is going to get a whole lot bigger cause if she wants to go....we will make it happen. With a whole lot of help from God. And scholarships. Which are really entertaining...

I know a lot of you have already done this but I am amazed at the things you can get a scholarship for! Right now Rhia is in the process of applying for dozens of places giving out money for all kinds of reasons. Such as:

Did you know you can get a scholarship for being right handed?

or Left handed?

For abstinance? From sex or alcohol or smoking or gossiping?

For peacekeeping?

You can get a scholarship if you can come up with a new cruise route.

Or if you were a beautiful baby. Which she was.

If you have a nice smile. And you don't even have to have a picture of it-- you can draw it.

They give scholarships for writing an essay on discovering a new sea creature and naming it. Or telling what you would do if you had a "do over". Or having your parents write one on how fiscally responsible their kid is... (that's a tough one!) Or writing in 250 words or less why you don't believe in capital punishment-- who gives this money?

It's a little overwhelming. All this time we thought she needed good grades. I told her she should write to Oprah. or Kelly Clarkson. Did you know there's a scholarship for best picture taken with a celebrity?

Keep your fingers crossed. Do you think there's a scholarship for that?
