My oldest daughter has really gotten into the "high school" thing--she is into not just a couple, but *four* different clubs! It stems from a strange couple of details of the logistics of getting to and from school each day.
She has a friend who lives just a couple of houses away in her mom's neighborhood. Each day, either her mom or I drive her and her friend Natella to school, and Natella's mom picks them up in the afternoons. However, because of the time at which Natella's mom can do that, the two of them have some extra time every afternoon. So, she joined Spanish club, Art club, Stand (which supports environmental initiatives, I think), and GSA (Gay Straight Alliance). She's big into helping out other people and supporting people's rights.
I feel great that she is getting socialization time and gets to particpate in things outside school in which she has fun.
She started out the session struggling again. It's been a few years, but unfortunately it's back to checking her work every day again. Sigh.
