I'm so delighted that Sean got the support and help that he needed to succeed in school. And, that he has a teacher this year that can recognize all of his hard work and can laud him for it. But I also want to say to you Sharon, that he will succeed in life because of all you have given him and were sure to get for him. All your love, and support and all you have sacrificed for him to be able to grow and fly - and you will always be there for him. He is a very lucky boy to have had you as his mom cheering him on. There is a Hebrew expression - Kol hakavod - ALL CREDIT TO YOU as WELL AS TO SEAN - GOOD JOB!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04213894246737894217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296351182823896665.post-52951838558652259332014-11-19T14:13:20.121-08:002014-11-19T14:13:20.121-08:00Thanks so much for your kind words, Ken.

Yes, the future is always uncertain but at least now, there is a little more hope. xoxoSharon Cheemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053978225913169010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296351182823896665.post-22962481016366001642014-11-19T14:08:51.650-08:002014-11-19T14:08:51.650-08:00Teachers play a huge role.

You'll have to get in line for the taxes. ;) Sharon Cheemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053978225913169010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296351182823896665.post-78997272872324746232014-11-19T05:44:18.285-08:002014-11-19T05:44:18.285-08:00On a snowy day with the dread of winter at our fee...On a snowy day with the dread of winter at our feet, this news provides us with warmth, sunshine and the feeling that no matter the goal, that goal *can* be achieved. The old adage, "Hard work pays off" (Not to be confused with "half a loaf is better than no rest at all") is a truism here, and I congratulate you and Sean in your achievements. There will no doubt be other battles to come, but today's success certainly forecasts more of the same - meeting and winning the battles that are yet hiding around the bends in life's long road ahead.

As a teacher about to do marathon parent-teacher interviews it is a pleasant reminder that the whole story is often elusive. We all have such an enormous impact on a child's life.
