Gotta be honest. There were a couple/few years in middle school that I thought this boy could go either way. I'm not talking getting into drugs or anything like that. But I thought there was a chance that the allure of video games and other leisure activities would consistently win out over school as a priority, to the detriment of his grades (which I make no effort to hide that in my opinion, grades are extremely important).
I've been impressed over the last couple of years though. 5's on AP tests? Studying on Friday nights for the SATs? Getting a first place medal at
Science Olympiad? Man, sounds like even more dedication than I gave to school. Looks like he's turning out to be a good kid. :)
