Bragging....

Post by MetDream »

I'm so proud of my kid (despite his taste for emo music). He was just infomred this week he was accepted into the National Honor Society. Only the top 4% of the kids at his high school were invited to apply. Of that only about 1/4 were accepted into the society. We are pretty stoked about his accomplishments. :) Now to cash all this hard work in on some substantial scholarships in two years or so when he graduates high school. :wub: :wub: :wub:

That he still doesn't quite know. But he is only in the 10th grade so he has the rest of this year and two more years after before he finishes high school before he really has to decide. He has been seriously been thinking about being an engineer. But has wanted to be a vet, an architect, a psychiatrist... you know how it goes with kids. :) Plus he wants to write a novel before he graduates high school.

Yes I understand what you mean, kids change their mind very often concerning their future job :)

But that's really cool if he wants to write a novel !! I hope he'll follow his project ! It could be very nice ! ;)

That's really great news - you have a very talented kid on your hands and judging by how expensive I have heard American colleges/unis are, it would great to offer extra chance of getting a scholarship.
