31. Apologies if I came across a little strong...

...but she is my baby girl and YES!, my daughter is absolutely Awe Inspiring.

I failed to mention that she earned her own full 4-year scholarship for her Bachelors due to a very strong high school career (7th in her class, was the only girl to wrestle on the boys team where she was selected to compete in the national girls wrestling championship, successfully competed in 4-H, cross-country and track) and excellent ACT and SAT scores.

To dismiss her accomplishments with the assumption she is where she is today because of some fancied phantasm of an inheritance tends to make my blood boil.
