Honor roll sticker remorse

Thursday, December 11, 2014

So I read a post online recently that stated that putting your kid's Honor Roll bumper sticker on your vehicle is just bragging to other parents how much smarter your kid is than everyone else and how it "may" hurt other parents or kids feelings. Okay, point taken. However, it sorta touched a nerve for this mama, because I've been driving with an Honor Roll sticker on my truck for 4 years now. And, no, I did not put it on there with the intent of hurting other's feelings or bragging about how smart my daughter is. I put it on there because my older daughter worked super hard to earn her grades and I was proud of her accomplishments. Ya see, not all Honor Roll students are geniuses, who don't have to apply themselves and have good grades just fall in their laps. Some kids have to really try and to get a sticker and a letter sent to their parents acknowledging their achievements is something that they are very proud of. Plus, to be honest ... I secretly wanted to cherish the moment because there was no guarantee she'd ever get on the Honor Roll again so I figured I'd better secure that sticker to the vehicle ASAP!
