Genna's Silver Medal

Genna earned a silver medal for her effort on the National Mythology Exam, offered by the American Classical League.

The Mythology exam is offered to 3rd thru 12 grade students across the country in the late winter.  Genna studied for this exam for months.  When the day came to take the test she was so sick she couldn't go to school. 

The examiner offered to stop by on her way to the post office to administer the test.  We compromised by letting Genna go to the school during the testing time and sit at a table by herself so she wouldn't give her "bug" to anyone else. 

Not only did she get through the test but she did a terrific job!  She is most proud of this medal because it the first medal she has truly earned and is not just a participation medal.  i am just proud of her ambition and refusal to quit.  In order to earn a gold medal a student had to get 100% on the exam.  Silver medals were awarded for 93-99% correct results.
