Default YAHOOO he did it!!!

Yep you guessed it.....My fantastic so Johnny graduated high school on Sunday.

I am so happy for him and I am so relieved. It was a rough year because Johnny acts as though he has not a care in the world.

He was way too layed back as far as school was concerned.

Every time I would go to a school conference all 7 of his teachers would start the conversation with.....John is such a nice boy buuuuuttttttt...................
LOL

Anyway, Sunday was a gorgeous day. The ceremony was held outside and I just beamed with pride.

As soon as it was over I grabbed his diploma (Had to make sure his name was on it)

If It would have been physically possible, I would have been doing cartwheels all the way down the hill!!!!

2 Kids down.....One to go!!!!(Michael will be a freshman in August)

Congratulations, Beth!! I know the feeling of relief when you get a child through high school. I know you're so proud of him. What are his plans now?

Sorry Sox I have 0 tips to give on how to get your kid to graduate except lots of love, praise, patience, THREATS(just jokin on the threats)

His plan as of 20 minutes ago LOL is he's going to the community college first and get his prereqs. out of the way. He really doesn't know what he wants to do yet. and thats fine for now but he really needs to think about it.

Cindy, I'll try anything for money

Beth,

Community College is the ideal way to go!

FYI - My best and most successfull students ALL started in Community College. And now, they are doing great,..., loving their jobs and making more money than can be spent.

WOOO HOOO !

Great job indeed!

-Vic
