Very Proud Mom

[Gromit]

I knew my son had passed Gr 9 but our school holds back on which level class the children will be placed in for Gr's 10 -12.
I've just fetched Liam from school and................. he's in Gr 10 "H" and into the Advanced Pure Math programme as well as IT Programming (and a little IT architecture).
I'm so proud of him I've been blubbing since I picked him up! And he's finally accepted that just a little effort goes a long, long way. But he's now got his work cut out for himself for the next 3 years!

Congratulations to Liam and to Mom and Dad for instilling values. You have every right and reason to be roud. Keep up the good work, Liam; it will reward you down the road.

Thanks Carl - that little carrot of flying lessons this year and Embry Riddle

 

[Ksquared]

Congratulations! Nothing makes a parent feel better than to see his of her child succeed!

 

[DaveM]

Congratulations to you all as it sure is a family effort, now please explain to me in English what all these G's actually mean.

 

[Gromit]

Dave, in our time Grade 10 was Standard 8 - is that what you mean???

 

[DaveM]

Yes that is what I mean thanks

 

[Gromit]

Congrats Gromit, that's great news!
So Flying lessons???

Yup - he wants to be a pilot and study Aeronautical Engineering. Last year we promised him that if he aced Gr 9, he could start flying lessons when he turns 16 (legal age to fly) and he'll be 16 in May. A deal is a deal - he aced it and we pay But this is going to be a pleasure to pay for!

 

[DaveM]

Very cool good luck to him

 

[The Seeker]

Advanced math? UGGGG!! LOL

I'm glad someone enjoys math cause I sure hate it.

That's going to serve Liam well in pursuing his dream of flying for sure!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

 

[Gromit]

Seeker - he does normal math 2yrs ahead of his age group but advanced pure math is a whole new ballgame. My sentiments too............uuurrrrgggghhhh but he loves it and thinks it's 'easy'

Only thing I hope is that when he turns 18 he asks for a car not a plane!

 

[The Seeker]

When he turns 18, he should ask for a TRIUMPH!

 

[Gromit]

When he turns 18, he should ask for a TRIUMPH!

There are a few in the garage already - he's luuurrrrvs the Tripple!

 

[The Seeker]

Yes, but one of his own makes all the difference!!

 

[CarlS]

A young man of fine, discriminating tastes!

 

[Gromit]

A bike is do-able. A plane? I don't think so. He really does love Triumphs though - wouldn't think of a Triple for him yet; he still thinks he's invicible. I'll leave the bike-buying decisions to Farside.

 

[keystiger]

Very big CONGRATULATIONS to you all.

 

[hemibee]

WELL ALRIGHT!!!

Won't be long and there will be a young man from the Dark Continent wowing all the blonde hardbody's on the sunny Florida beaches.


Congrats to Liam and his proud parents.

 

[Gromit]

Thanks for all the good words guys - Liam read them last night. Should've seen the grin on his face!

 

[CarlS]

I am glad he read them.
