Being smart is too hard...

I keep hearing this from my brilliant honors daughter.  She makes at least a B+ every term and she keeps trying to convince me that she would make an A if she was in regular math class.  I refuse to allow my daughter to take the easy road just to boost her grade 2 points.  What happened to being proud of being smart?  I am constantly hearing about how my daughter doesn't want anyone to know that she is all honor's classes and that people might think she is a nerd.  She is a beautiful blonde hair, crystal blue eyes, and a cheerleader.  How can anyone think that this smart, stunning young lady is anything less than what she is?  Why is being smart something to be ashamed of?  I wonder how much longer this will last in her life?  If it were me no young lady would ever feel like less of a lady because she is smarter than the average.  Don't dumb yourself down for anyone build yourself up for you.

Just my buzz...
