Featuring...Karson Deaton who had the privilege of attending a modified summer program for the states Governor's Scholars Program at Centre College. #GSPandemic
We had an anxiety filled week leading up to her leaving. At a family gathering, a friend tested positive for COVID the next day. Leading up to GSP, Karson had to monitor her symptoms daily and make note of her temperature. She had no symptoms, but out of precaution, our entire family went and got tested. Fortunately, we all got negative results. We dropped her off at Centre on Sunday and picked her up Friday afternoon.
She had a good time overall but was saddened that the experience wasn't like normal summers. Memories were made, and honestly, we're thankful for the scholarship that comes with GSP. In the end, the $$$ is what's nice.
Her home for the week - Ganfield House. It was TINY. I can't imagine living there for a full semester or YEAR.
Karson also received her AP scores this week and got a "3" on both her AP English and AP US History exams. She plans on taking two WKU Dual Credit classes this fall and continues to chip away at that college credit. Her plans at this time are to pursue an education in Nursing. Where she lands depends much on scholarships and financial aide. She's leaning heavily towards WKU but considering UL as well. Dr. Paul let her come shadow a procedure with him recently. I'm hopeful she can do that more often next summer as her long term plans include the possibility of CRNA school. She looks awfully cute in scrubs.
Miles finished up his Go Golf Tournament series and came in 2nd at Kenny Perry's Country Creek. The tour championship was in Owensboro the next week. We weren't able to go because of work, but Pops and Meme were able to take him. It takes a village!
He's had golf tryouts for SWHS this week and is currently 6th in the standings. He officially made the team yesterday. I got tickled because my (booster) friend Christy texted me to ask for his size. I jokingly asked if youth sizes were available. Bless his heart, he's still a little guy. Hope his clothes don't look too big on him =).
Karson had the day off last Sunday, so we took the kids to TopGolf in Nashville. It's always a quick, fun trip. They are operating Top Notch too with their guidelines, cleaning procedures and customer protection. I didn't feel unsafe which is nice since Tennessee is crawling with COVID.
