Thank you, esperanza. I, too, want to thank everyone for your help, advice, and encouragement. Unlike zia's mom, I would have liked more time to polish what I wrote, but I really wanted to make the December deadline for several school-related reasons. Also, unlike private school admissions, I figured this process is truly about the children and they are looking to admit all those who qualify and aren't judging the application on the rambling of the parents. They know exactly what they are looking for and are clearly trained to spot it. So thanks to all of you again.
