fun," Kathy said. "It's exciting and creative ... it's put us
"But, it's a lot of work too," she added. "When she was on the 'Zoey' set, she had a mandated three hours of
school each day," Kathy said. "She has had Erin recently acquired her high school diploma, but is still completing coursework. It's important to her that she gets it all done even though she already passed the test for her diploma, Kathy said. She finishes what she starts. She's still a Girl Scout, too.
