Maren is one smart cookie! Four years of blood, sweat, and tears later and guess what she has to show for it? A pretty little piece of paper called a diploma!

With a little motivation from her other brilliant friends, Maren graduated from National Honor Society following both the English language and math courses. They don't always look or talk very brilliantly, but these kids are going places...like college.

On top of NHS, Maren also received the status of both highest honors and academic excellence. In order to be an academic excellence graduate, she had to maintain a 4.0 and take three or more Advanced Placement classes. Maren graduated with a 4.36 GPA! She took a total of six AP courses and other dual enrollment courses, both of which gave her college credits while still in high school. She'll be starting college with the same number of credits as a college sophomore.

Graduation was a bittersweet day for all of them. Four years was a long time to spend in high school, but it wasn't enough time to spend with such good friends. I couldn't be happier that she found such wonderful kids to help her along.

I didn't see any actual tears shed (luckily for them since they aren't allowed to bring tissues into the graduation ceremony), but everyone who has graduated from high school understands how new and nerve-raking taking the next step can be.
At least it's comforting to know that some things never change...
