Mackenzie got a "34"!!!



Mackenzie achieved a score of 34 on the ACT in late September. This now qualifies her for applying for the ultimate goal of being a Thomas S. Monson BYU scholarship recipient: http://saas.byu.edu/depts/scholarships/Hinckley/index.aspx.

At the moment, since we're singing her praises, Kenzie also graduated from high school a year early with a 4.25 GPA and multiple "5"s on 4 AP tests in various subjects, including BC Calculus. Yeah, she's a smarty pants!

She now is taking a "transition" year and is homeschooling her sister Tate, nannying part-time, and tutoring several students in Math and test prep. With the money she earns, she is planning a new adventure to Malawi ( http://www.worldcampforkids.org/thehighschoolprogram.htm ) where she will be teaching teenagers HIV/AIDS awareness, English, and principles of basic hygiene . . . She will be putting up a website soon to tell you more about it and ask for donations to fund her trip . .

Congratulations Kenz-O!!! We love you and are so proud of you!!!!
