[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 470200, member: 3493"] Thank you all for your encouragement and pride. There is so much truth in what you say. All of my children are bright, but he is above and beyond. Susie must know him. Last year, he took a class in Honors law. The grade was tests only, no HW. difficult child not only got an A+ but he won a two county competition (and we only found out about the luncheon because his teacher called us). If this had been a HW based class, he never would have done as well. I have been thinking about what to do for him or get him. His main hobby is chess and there are just so many accessories you can have for that one... His favorite singer right now is Phil Ochs so I will get him a CD but sadly seeing Phil is not possible. I think difficult child finds Phil's creativity coupled with bipolar to be fascinating, plus his music is sadly still relevant even all these years after Viet Nam. As for the Eagle, it was brought up but difficult child did not want to pursue it. He is such a good kid that last week he actually volunteered on the eagle project of his former leader's son, who he remains friends with. He is now thinking of doing his project and if he does, I will let everyone know. That teacher and principal are still here. If he does his eagle, I will send them an announcement. I would love to see their faces. [/QUOTE]
