Reply to "Has anyone ever seen a PG grade of less than 7?"

Full Disclosure:

In a previous post I mentioned that, "I know a young man who received a 6.5." Well, surprise, surprise, that "young man" is my son. That 6.5, that "Scarlet Number" burned him pretty good, as he was certainly hoping for higher. As was his dad. I've told him he could contact PG and have it removed since he was only 14 at the time. He said, "No. I want to prove them wrong."

Since then that 6.5 grade is the first thing he, or anyone, sees when you pull up his PG profile page. He has not sent it to any coaches. Feels he can't. But that 6.5 has motivated him like no other number could. In a strange way, I have come to see his PG showcase experience and the 6.5 he was given as a blessing. "Things happen for a reason."

JCG's post on Dylan Moore's experience is priceless, and should be the one final note to this thread. His journey through the PG showcase world says it all. It ain't over, till it's over.
