Remember the olden days when only a select group of children got trophies? When leagues eliminated the requirement that trophies were only given to the champions, the floodgates opened.
Today, every 4-year- old who shows up to soccer tots gets some form of bling to celebrate her accomplishments. Sporty families across the nation have dozens of trophies to dust by the time their children reach age 12.
But what about the teenagers? The ultimate teen trophy is a driver’s license, right? Well, my home state of Maryland decided to follow a trend; as of this week, our state has eliminated parallel parking from the road test. Like trophies, it just got a whole lot easier to earn a driver’s license. Teens across the state are thrilled.
