My granddaughter just received the news that she got a full ride to William & Mary College- the second oldest college in the US founded in 1693. It is a VERY good school. She had her heart set on it. W&M was her first choice. She applied early and was accepted last weekend, but she just got her award email and was offered a full ride. She has worked hard her whole life for this. She was really worried because they only accept 37% of applicants. She is going into Family Law. We're so proud of her.

That is super great! My daughter is a Sophomore right now, she wants to be a pediatric nurse and just got a 103 on her Med Terms final, which is a college class. Keeping my fingers crossed for a full ride scholarship. Congratulations!!!

Keeping my fingers crossed for a full ride scholarship. Congratulations!!! Kids who want to move forward work so hard! Good luck to her, though it sounds like she is already on the right track.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have been on that campus, I took some pictures when I went to D.C. as a sponsor a year and a half ago with my daughter's class. We also did a tour of Williamsburg. Most everyone else walked around downtown but I wanted to walk around the college. It's beautiful.

My husband and I have raised my grandkids for 90 percent of their lives. We're thrilled that we seem to have done something right. LOL!!!!

That is wonderful news! She's a beautiful girl and obviously has the brains to match her looks as well as the willingness to work hard and get what she wants. Congratulations to her and to you for guiding her down the right path.
