Becky was born January 5th, 1996.

She was in day care beginning at six weeks old and we were able to pick some pretty good places.  First, Becky spent days with Susan Dexter who was doing day care for Becky, Andrew Hill who was born two days after Becky, and with a few other kids. Becky was with Susan's home day care for two years.  

After a half year with another home day care, Becky went to Rogy's Learning Center and was there till she started Kindergarten at Peoria Academy. By the spring before Kindergarten, Becky was able to read first reader books and could count to a hundred by ones, twos, fives and tens and do some simple addition.  Though Becky was outstanding, most of her peers could do these things, too.

Starting in 2001, Becky attended Kindergarten at Peoria Academy, a private, secular school. Each of her teachers, was "better than perfect" in Becky's estimation.  No discussion of how nothing can be better than perfect could dissuade Becky from saying these teachers were better than even a perfect teacher.  (Perhaps it relates to going above and beyond even the student's expectations.)

Becky has always liked school and has often been disappointed when there was a school holiday.  There is no doubt it's a good school.

Somewhere along the way, Becky became Rebecca as she started introducing herself that way.

(Warning:  incoming parental bragging) As a reflection of the school's quality,  Rebecca has generally scored in the 94th-99th percentile on standard testing. Good schools attract good students but the quality of the school is keeping up with these quality students.

Becky continues to enjoy Peoria Academy, now in the 8th grade.

As side classes, Rebecca has enjoyed Tae Kwon Do , drama, piano, gymnastics, chess, advanced math, typing, Mad Science, and Girl Scouts, speech and a school play, volleyball and cross country running.
