I'm not sure if this counts or not, but the other day a coach told my DD that she is very mature for someone going into eighth grade. What he doesn't know is that, yes, my DD is going into eighth grade, but she is also just 11!

She does have a lot of interesting and intriguing thoughts and tends to see the world from a very unique perspective. But she often gets the comments about maturity, and usually from people who think she is 7th grade age.

She thought she could, so she did.
