The last line is the icing on the cake. Very well done. Please tell your dd that a stranger who read her essay is mind blown:)
Thank you so much for your feedback! I shared it with DD and she was clearly moved in her poker-face way. She said she likes compliments but has a hard time receiving them. It really helps me too because sometimes I doubt my own impressions as being parental bias. I don't so much want to brag as to have another adult confirm this "Wow" feeling from some of the things she's done.

I've suspected DD of plagiarism more than once and always come up empty handed and embarrassed. I finally stopped doing it, and her teacher assures me she writes this way in class too.

Anyway, I'm printing your feedback to keep in a folder for encouraging DD. smile
