My daughter's year head requested an informal meeting

So I popped into her office yesterday after our dance club session had finished. Slightly in trepidation, given daughter's mixed disciplinary record 馃槓 But it was to tell me that my girl is going to be made a junior prefect and anti-bullying advocate. At the beginning of last week she and her friends stepped in to help a younger girl who was being picked on. They confronted the bullies, removed the girl from danger, and reported the incident. More importantly they let the girl join their group and involved her with their activities until she had regained her confidence. The girl's parents contacted the school with a message of appreciation and now all three girls are going to be recognised in assembly.

My daughter kept quiet about all of this. But I think I'll be allowed to raise the subject when she gets home today 馃槉

@Convivial Today I am so happy to have her as part of our family. The best part is that she is scarcely aware when she does things like this. I sometimes despair at her lack of logical thinking when she does silly things impulsively without thinking. But that same impulsiveness drives her to help other people when there is no obvious benefit to herself. Emotional intelligence is better than all my college learning put together 馃挅
