[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 525025, member: 6546"] Thank you! Thank you! (And thank you, Susie, for the congrats to DS!) Insane-- We explained to both kids that you choose a work to enter in which YOU feel you did your best - something that you are proud to share. How well you do depends upon the other competitors and the preferences of the judges...and those things are not ours to know or control. Your placement in a contest is not a rating of your worth (good or bad) - it is just a mark of how well you were judged in the midst of those particular competitors. difficult child *is* a good poet. Her entry was in the top six. (And believe me - there is some STIFF competition in these parts. Many English teachers encourage their students to enter.) Unfortunately, prizes only go to the top three. So difficult child has nothing to be ashamed of - nor does DS have anything to "gloat" about (although he is very proud!). I am very proud of both of them! [/QUOTE]
