My son is brilliant!
Edited on Fri Jun-27-08 07:34 AM by redwitch
Well, not brilliant, but he did score a perfect 100 on the New York State U.S. History and Government Regent's exam. We were stunned last night at the high school awards ceremony when the last award was given and they called his name. We are so proud of him!


Edited to add that my son is very quiet and a good solid "B" student. This was an absolute thrill for him too. :-)

4. Thank you!
Hubby and I are very fond of U.S. history and government, nice to know it rubbed off. A lot apparently!

8. Sounds Like A Good Son You Have
Smart and athletic...you can't ask for more than that! You did something very right.

9. Our ancestors helped a lot.
Athletic part has definitely skipped a generation or two. Hubby and I both love history, and the government part surely everyone has studied intently these last 8 years?
