Proud Dad II
« on: May 13, 2009 - 12:07:22 AM »
I dont want to wear you guys out but I thought I would give my son the same pat on the back that I gave my daughter. This afternoon my son was tapped into the Junior National Honor Society. He is an 8th grader, gets great grades, plays trumpet in band and is a pretty darn good soccer player in his own right. One of the conditions we put on his right to play his PS3 and XBox360 is a minimum of A/B honor roll. I tell ya, when you find whats important to your kid it can make all the difference in the world when used as positive leverage  :bigsmile:  With that said, atta boy Christian!  :cheers:

Thats awesome! Ever kid has the potential to do well in school, It think its that sort of reasoning that gets a kid motivated to apply themselves.  :2thumbs:


I had great grades all through school and university, my parents used to let me go to parties whenever I wanted and no curfew as long as I had a good report card..lol.  :smilielol:

Thanks guys. Actually you are right Jim. Although I skipped a grade early in school and had the potential, I started hanging around the wrong crowd starting in 9th grade. I was shocked when I had to get my high school transcripts for the apprenticeship I am in now. Absolutely horrible grades, its a wonder I graduated. I was even man enough to show my kids those horrible grades  :dupe:
