Awards-

Maura was invited to a special awards ceremony at Drurry University. Duke Talent search had a statewide awards ceremony for all those 7th graders who scored high on the ACT or SAT test.

It was good for her to see how many students across the state were in a similar situation as she is (besides the 5 others from her school). One thing the speaker said struck home to me. he said, "There's nothing you dream of doing that is closed to you if you are willing to work to get it". It didn't make much of an impact on Maura, but I realized that these kids all have the mental ability to achieve anything they can dream up. It makes me wonder what they WILL dream of.
