So Proud of my Kiddo!


Recommended Posts

I have no one else I can tell, but I am so proud of DS. He nailed his federal testimony today for a draft environmental impact study. It involved so much time researching and crunch raw data, cost benefit anslysis of multiple economic factors, and lots of decoding obscure language to find flaws. This one was not able to use emotional appeals in consideration and he is not used to that.

 

I was very worried he was not going to pull it off. When he walked back up the auditorium isle he was holding back tears, but he made it to the darkened back with me before he lost it in relief. It was a major milestone.

 

Thank you for letting me get that out!

If anyone cares, here is a link to the regional news that included some of his comments. It is very weird to see your kid in a news montage:

Thanks for the support. I will tell Ds. It is sometimes really difficult to parent a kid who does sort of weird stuff :)
