Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / April 2008OTP:Bragging a little
I am going to brag a little. My oldest son has received admission to Phi Theta Kappa Honor society. He is only a Senior in highschool and has completed 12 credit hours of college with a 4.0 gpa. We are so proud of him for this since he is a LD student and has overcome so many hurdles to get where he is. He did this also with very limited modifications! Rhonda, that is so awesome! I just had my daughter's 504 meeting yesterday, and I understand what it means to be proud of the limited, but necessary, modifications. That's a lot of work, and your son should be very proud of his achievement! Kelly C. >I am going to brag a little. My oldest son has received admission to Phi >Theta Kappa Honor society.

That's the sort of kid, I'm proud to sort of know him and his family. I can only imagine how proud you are. I mean it, I'd have to imagine, we are struggling around here for far less accomplishment. Congratulations to him and to you. What a great accomplishment. Ann Don't brag a little - brag a lot. Congratulations mom - you and your husband must have brought him up right. Goodness knows he must have some good support behind him and some major motivation and hard work on his behalf to do this - LD hurdles aside. Congratulations to him and you.

Rhonda, I know a little of how you feel. I have an LD grandson; he's dyslexic. His mother recognized it before his teachers did and kept after them until they recognized it and made note of it. He graduated high school and went to college, mostly working his way through along with student loans. After a year or so, he told his mom and dad he had decided to go into the army to have his student loans paid off. He volunteered and told nobody about his disability. After 4 years he was discharged and went to work for a company doing almost the same thing he did in the army and stayed in England - he and his wife are still there. He still has a little trouble reading, but he didn't let it stop him. And we are proud of him too! Gwen > Don't brag a little - brag a lot.

He did this also with very limited modifications! Yep.. it is what you can do not what you can't... thats what I have always told him. I have told him he can do anything he sets his mind to. We have always been there for him and he has been a big factor in his success just by being determined. I have never coddled him.. I told him to keep trying. I told him to never give up because thats when you have failure. We have had lots of tears, frustration, and sometimes just letting things work itself out. I am now raising another child as well with the same disability. Dyslexia, Processing disorder, and ADD. He is 12 and we just went through the frustration and tears this last week. For me it was round and round with the school. We now have it all settled and things are back on track..lets just say my child was falling through the cracks and I wasn't about to let that happen.:o) > Rhonda, I know a little of how you feel.

Really,,,, just watching it all happen in the later years is reward enough. Harv Give him a big hug from me, too. He has done a great job & so have you! Congrats. Shannon Rhonda, so proud of you for standing up for your child at school. You're a good mother! Gwen > Yep.. it is what you can do not what you can't... thats what I have always > told him.

I went to high school with a guy that worked like the devil to make C's on everything and he graduated with more credits than was needed to get his degree. He went to collage and got his degree and now has an accounting firm in my home town. I was up there visiting my sister and happened to meet him walking infront of the court house. Stopped him and shook his hand to talk to him about how things were and this and that. I told him how much I always respected how much he put into whatever he was doing and asked him if he was still that way. He just smiled and said that it was too late for him to change now and I nodded my head and smiled at him,,,telling him that it was good to see him as he walked away. I sat on a bench to watch the squirrels play a little and there he went driving by in this years model BMW,,,,4 door,,,, Yes,,, hard work pays off I guess. Harv Yep it does.. He will go far. That story you told me make me think of him down the road >> Rhonda, I know a little of how you feel. I have an LD grandson; he's >> dyslexic.
