O/T a little mamma brag time !!!!!!

Just got off the phone call I had with my son. He just got a $1500 scholarship from a temp service to continue his education at Johns Hopkins university. It's I guess really not too much, all he had to do was write an essay as to how this temp service has helped him with his career, but still, it is some money. He also holds a 3.95 GPA at Johns Hopkins in the courses that he has already taken.

He was also given a job related reward at the company that he works for in June of this year, and it was presented to him at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington. This was the second award from his company this year, and he had also received another award from the temp company earlier this year.

He works as a robotic specialist. I don't even know what that means or what they do.

He is also getting married next June.

I'm a really proud mamma here.

Just wanted to share.

Wow, he is a pretty smart cookie. I thought he had gotten all messed up. He went to college on a full scholarship. Little by little, he lost that full scholarship. I think it took him 3 semesters to lose it completely. I thought he was going to follow in his dads footsteps.

Back in the days when you only had to do math, and verbal for SAT test, he scored a 1520. High IQ, but he really lost it all in the first 2 years of college.

I am so proud of him now. He will get his Phd. He is going for his masters now, not like I know anything really about this. I have a HS education. But, he is tough. When he has his mind set on something, he will do it.

So yep, I can brag now!!!!!!!!
