I am so proud of my son!!

Wow, I am certainly that you super proud of your son. Actually, he had done a great job under such economy. Anyway, do your son has any plan on go to college? I mean, he wants to work for while to gain some experience, or whether he wants to work to earn some money and save them for college expenses? I wish that your son also has a plan for future. Because through schooling, he can have better future than $15.00 per hour.

hi thoroughrob You are right t o be proud of your son as he is turning into a responsible young man with a great future ahead of him,He sounds very smart and intelligent so he should go far in his life.fifteen dollars an hour does not sound too bad in this horrid economy.a nice big jump from 8 dollars and hour and it sounds like he really deserves it too.So keep on being proud of your son

Got 2 great neices graduating this year one in Tenn and the other in Utah. and they both wil probably go on to college

Wonderful! That is incredibly exciting.

Congratulations! So happy for you and your son. My niece is graduating soon too. The economy situation in Malaysia is much better. There are good job offers for soon-to-be graduates. She is doing accountancy, a well establish accounting/auditor firm had offer her a job which she will start working by September. Her final exams will be over in June and graduating in August 2011.

Wow, so proud of him too! You must be a very good parent to him. The outcome of what you both have worked for over the years has turned this good so kudos to both of you!

This is great. People are struggling to find work and he has worked his way into an excellent position. No one close to me graduating at this time.

Congratulations to the both of you. Yes you get to take a little credit here also. I have two children just a little older and I know very much how you feel. You should keep a diary or journal of his accomplishments and details and emotions. Its fun to look back on or use as encouragement in not so positive times. Just an idea.

That's wonderful news! You have every right to be extremely proud of your son AND t be very proud of yourself as well for raising such a good kid. In these uncertain times when kids are graduating from college, even some with advanced degrees, and not being able to find jobs, this is terrific news. I remember when I was in high school it was the norm for teens to have jobs after school and on weekends but today it just doesn't seem like there are as many looking to earn their own money. To me it was a matter of feeling "independent" and of accomplishment. It wasn't that my parents couldn't afford to buy me what I needed but I really liked the idea of earning my OWN money to buy clothes and cosmetics and go to movies and other places with my friends. I realize that right now it's extra hard for high school kids to find work since many of the places that would normally be able to hire them either aren't hiring at all or are filling the positions with older people who have lost their jobs, but even when the economy was doing better it just didn't seem like as many kids wanted to work as they did back when I was young. Your son is proof positive that it DOES pay-off in the long run. Kudos all around! Annie

Congratulations to your son!! And congratulations to you and your husband for raising a responsible, intelligent child! My great niece is graduating and I'm going to the family gathering. Her dad home schooled her and her brother for the most part and they are wonderful kids. Her brother won't graduate for a couple of years. They are both wonderful kids, I can't believe she is graduation--it seems just a couple weeks ago that we visited and she was a little toddler!

I appreciate how proud you are feeling to have such a well-adjusted, sensible and not to mention smart young man! I don’t know anyone who is graduating and my daughter is only nine years old but I wanted to respond to say a big congratulations to you and your son. I hope he enjoys working fulltime and making a decent living. Good on him!

You are right to be prou. I congratulate you and him! Take care!

Wow, congratulations on your son's graduation and for passing the tests on his job. He seems like a fine man. Also, congratulations to you for raising him well . One of my nephews also graduated from elementray last April. He'll be in high school this June. Time flies so fast!

My oldest niece graduated a week and a half a go. It's so amazing isn't it. They leave us wondering where the time goes. Congratulation to your son on his graduation and on his job. =)

Wow!! Nice. $15 an hr. for someone just graduating from High School is a nice start, and with getting a 99 out of 100. Great job there too. I actually know a couple of kids from the Church I attend who graduated from High School this yr. along with a couple of kids who graduated college. Not sure what all of them are planning on doing but I know that with the Economy being the way it is it is not always going to be an easy move for sure.

That's astounding! What fabulous news, I'll bet you are all over the moon. I don't know anyone graduating but I'm sure it must be a difficult time for some. It's a really important time of transition from school to work and it looks like your boy is going to achieve this rite of passage seamlessly. That's a huge accomplishment. Hugs to you lovely friend and thanks for sharing.

Wow! Wow! No wonder you're so proud of him!! He's going to be a self made man and he's on the right road in doing so! Awesome! Hope he keeps up with the great work! No I don't know anybody that's graduating this year and don't know if I will for the next few years because they're all relativly young but if they keep up with their school work, they will and I pray go off to college or job core and make good lives for themselves.

Congraulations to your son & to u. That is wonderful that he has stepped into such a good joright out of school. That says alot for the good job he did working part time. It has sure paid off for him. Having a good mom has been an advanteage to him. I know u are proud of him. I'm very proud for him also. I know one young man that is graduating. I met him at church & am very fond of his whole family. I'm very fond of young people who have ambitions like your son has.

I actually don't know of anyone that is graduating this year, but it certainly sounds like you have plenty of reasons to be a proud Momma of your graduate. Does he have any plans for the future other than starting to work full time at the place that he has been working? If he does, then it definitely sounds like he is really far ahead of the average graduate. Please give him my congratulations on his achievement.

Congratulations to you son, but more especially to you! What did you do to raise such responsible and intelligent son? I have a five year old son. Needless to say, I have a long long way to go and I could get some tips from you.
