Vince, how's she doing now? Has she been studying hard lately? Is she giving her school work her best shot now?
I stand corrected...she did get 1 A...in gym (suprise suprise). Were not even talkin straight F's...were talkin like 40, 43, 45 etc. Not even gangbanger...shes graduated to straight street thug. If she doesnt get an 87 in geometry she fails for the year. This is from someone who got mostly A's, B's with the occasional C her whole life. Shes studying but I dont know how hard. She wont accept my help (shes pissed at me).
Shes not a bad kid...she stays out of trouble for the most part and i can tell you that she should be back one day (she really lives and breathes the sport..so much so that I believe shes put all her eggs in one basket so to speak). I believe that there is a breaking point that most people have to reach that makes them truly change their ways. I think that this is that point for Gab where its time for her to grow up a little and take responsibility for her mistakes...and correct them. If that means giving up something she loves until its fixed than so be it. My breaking point was when i was 17 (a junior in HS) and found out my girlfriend was pregnant with Gabby. I knew it was time to grow up quick and do the right thing. I got straight A's from that point on and went on to Drexel U to make a better life for all of us. Luckily her situation is much easier to correct. She is frustrated now (mostly because she wanted to be part of a feature on National TV at grapplers quest in June) but in the vast scheme of her young life its only a few months. She will be back one day and hopefully with a better sense of responsibility and an understanding of what it takes to survive it in this world.
thanks for the support guys...ill be in touch.
