My kid will graduate from NSI in two days. Prior to NSI, he was the best at everything. Number One. There wasn't an award or recognition he didn't get. Many out of the blue.
Now he is in a pool of exceptional kids who achieved as much as he did, many achieving much more. I hope he can rate at least average in such an accomplished group. This will be the first time in years that he won't be called up to the podium for special recognition. I think this will be the first time for most of the kids attending NSI to be "average". This is a transition but a good thing. It is still very much quite an accomplishment when you look at their peers.
So, welcome to the Major Leagues. Just getting here is the Award! I am grateful he will be surrounded by such exceptional people...it will make him better in every way possible.
