Oh my goodness, I LOVE This!!! Esp timely for me since my hubby and I just watched the last episode of Season 7 GoT last night!!! Will def have to have my girls revisit this one when they are older – I can only imagine the sorts of things they would come up with!!!
It is certainly a really fun scholarship! 🙂
Told them about it at dinner the other night. They love the idea. Told them to get cracking on their essay ideas – at 8 and 6, they have VERY active imaginations, so they’ve got time to polish those ideas lol!
They sound amazing!
