Have her start thinking of West Point or Annapolis. The Academies give
great educations. But she has to have that as her goal starting right
now. That means getting involved in school activities like sports and
student government.
She's got the ability. Now it's all attitude.

All decisions, even those made by liberals, are the result of binary thinking.
She's already starting to think about after high school!
Here's an article about my niece. If she could do it, your daughter
can. (Well, maybe not the basketball bit.)
Scroll down to the 'Bryanna Herring' article:

There's one boo-boo in the article. Bryanna's father did not attend
the Naval Academy. I believe he graduated from Univ of Portland, and
then got his master's at Penn State. He became a Naval officer after
UP, stayed in for about four years and then started work as an
engineer for Johns Hopkins. He's now the Project Executive for the
construction of the 15-story Dana-Farber Cancer In-
stitute (DFCI) in Boston.
Lots of folks here would think he's bad because he does quite well for
himself financially. He's pretty smart too.
