My beautiful and talented daughter was just accepted into Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, B.C. We have all been waiting on 'pins and needles' for months now. She was also accepted into Western Washington University, as well as Portland State University. But, her heart lies in Canada (and art school). She just told me this morning that she's so excited to have loonies and toonies in her purse, and a bit apprehensive about having to constantly convert to metric!! I discovered this wonderful little art school on Granville Island (in Vancouver) a couple of years ago, and instantly thought about my daughter. We went up for a visit a year ago, and she was completely hooked. She has worked very hard to keep her grades up and get all of her college applications and paperwork in on time. She deserves this...I'm so proud of her.Photo: self portrait, taken by my daughter.
Wow, great news! It's time for celebration.
ReplyDeleteYes, we will most certainly celebrate! Thank you. (I haven't been able to give her a big hug yet!).
ReplyDeleteA mom's reward for being a good parent and arty role model!! Congratulations for both of you, very cool that she's going to Emily Carr School in BC... how exciting to be young, and studying art.
ReplyDeletei remember your daughter at Artfest. i sensed her excellent personal qualities right away and i was so impressed with her art confidence. congratulations to her and best wishes.
ReplyDeleteExcitement!! & what bliss for your daughter to have known, upon 'meeting' the place, that it would be a wonderful stepping stone on her path ... don't you want to just follow along, take a few classes! My youngest graduates this year (high school) and is still having difficulty making any kind of next-step selection; for him it's all about basketball scholarships and who is going to let him PLAY ...
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your great words of encouragement, for it has been a challenge for both of us (myself and my daughter) to get her this far...good things do require PATIENCE!! (And faith)... I do want to 'tag along' in some ways, but I wouldn't want to repeat that experience of staying up until 3 a.m. every night to turn in that project that's due at 8 a.m. It's in her hands now.
ReplyDeletethat is exciting! (now if I can just get my son to do his homework in hopes of some day going to school!)
