Dean’s Scholarship and Dean’s Leadership Award

We just found out that Alexa received acceptance to Vanderbilt Law School and was awarded the Dean’s Scholarship and Dean’s Leadership Award. She still hasn’t made a decision and is waiting on two more law school decisions, but I want to make a point about this accomplishment and encourage everybody with her hard work.

Alexa has many personality characteristics that I admire, but the most significant one is her work ethic and persistence. Yes, she is intelligent, but that would be nothing if she could not properly channel it towards some meaningful end.

Her natural gift, and I believe ALL children have natural gifts, is her linguistic intelligence. She is an extremely talented writer, speaker, and communicator. She also has incredible interpersonal skills.

But the reason she is where she is, is because of her 100% pure drive and determination to succeed. I have never met a harder worker, so when I tell you that she deserves everything that is coming to her, I mean that sincerely and from a place of wanting to encourage others to persevere.

I know that there were times when she was very stressed out studying nonstop, but I never discouraged her because I knew that it was for a season. There doesn’t have to be balance in your life every single day; there just has to be balance over time. There are times when you buckle down: preparing for law school entrance exams, the SAT, or a competition.

Although she is well-rounded, she’s not well-rounded every day. There are days when she studies 20 hours straight and works nonstop, and there are days when she goes to the beach with her friends.

When it’s time to work, work hard and passionately towards your goal. And when it’s time to rest, rest and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Congratulations, Alexa.
