Last Spring, M decided to apply and audition for an Advanced Music Studies program about 20 minutes away. She was accepted! The only snag was that the school district doesn't provide transportation. So, being the determined young lady that she is, M took on extra piano students to earn money for a car. She also took every chance to drive so that she could get in the required 60 hours of practice. And she earned her Young Womanhood Recognition and a prerequisite for getting her license. She saved and saved, drove and drove, and worked really, really hard to reached her goals. A gazillion kudos to this amazing lady!
Her 2006 Scion xA gets great gas milage, and M has informed me that she likes it better than my Prius or her father's Accord. She will continue to teach 4 students each week (plus her brother on occasion) to earn money to pay for gas.
