Her essay was good once she got serious. I was helping her with the typing while she dicated. Since the local camp is astronomy based, she kept saying things like, "I've always been interested in viewing the stars, but since I broke my mom's telescope, I guess that won't be happening anytime soon." She did break my telescope (that I got for high school graduation) by rough housing with our dog.

The final version didn't sound like that, of course, or I imagine that the clutz wouldn't have gotten in!
