[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 530397, member: 3388"] It doesn't sound negative to me. difficult child 2 was given all kinds of academic awards in school, and while we're very proud of how far he's come, believe me, his school work didn't merit the awards he was given. For instance, his high school senior project was supposed to be based on doing something to benefit the members of our town. He asked if he could do his on why monkeys shouldn't be used in movies and the principal said it was an excellent idea. difficult child 2 was perfectly capable of doing something to benefit the people in our town, and husband and I came up with some ideas to help him get started. He refused, "melted," kept saying that his project was going to be on monkeys, end of story. I could go on and on and on but, I don't want to hog your thread! I like svengandhi's idea about seeing if he can be the first to receive his award or Lavender's idea about just attending the part of the ceremony where he'll receive it. I'm hoping the award is for something wonderful your difficult child did, but, at the very least, I think it's good he'll be made to feel special by receiving an award. Congratulations to your difficult child! SFR [/QUOTE]
