Smart/­Educated
Did she learn that science is fun? That she’s actually good at math? That the best way to sound out new words is when they’re lyrics and she’s holding a microphone in her own version of a 60’s girl group? Did she find a quiet place to do homework every day? Did she touch a snake? Hold a spider? Program a robot? Extract DNA? Stake a claim to her own bean bag chair in the library?
