Way to go G.  She's the second person in history to receive this scholarship 3 times. Hopefully she becomes the first to get it 4 times next year.

 I guess on a positive note, that should mean she should kick ass throughout her career. |

Congrats to G and to the proud parents for guiding her in the proper direction.
Her only limit to what she can achieve are ones SHE places in her way.

Geez ... did she have to go through Six Sigma training? That could have ruined her promising engineering career.

Showed it to Abbey as inspiration. Very proud of her achievements, bright mind, and leadership.
Quite a rare option package for such a beautiful young lady. Scott

I'm not sure of the official total, but I'm pretty sure she has now nearly reached $40,000 in scholarships and grants since she started. Very helpful indeed.
Last edited by Datawiz; 12-10-2018 at 9:53pm. Reason: informal total with wife at dinner...$42,000. GWiz is absolutely carrying her end of the bargain. I will feel like a rock star when she graduates with no debt for her or us. :yesnod: |

If I read the publicity correctly it appears that GWiz is now one of the top people of the GTMS team as it lists her as the GTMS Management Director.

Currently she's doing ALL of the work of Team Lead and even half of the work of Chief Engineer. She's keeping them on track to get to Michigan and be competitive. She's so sick of her generation...nobody has work ethic. |

for them, it's all about filling up their resume with "accomplishments" , but accomplishments that are hollow. same reason people cheat on exams. they want the A, but don't want to spend hours reading and studying, they'd rather party and goof off. she sounds like she has her head on straight, and has picked up a few useful bits of advice from dear old dad. as for the "six sigma", i've heard of it, but have no idea what it is. maybe that's why my scrap pile is so big.
