Woo hoo - proud parents

[Blackbird]

Just heard this morning that our daughter has been awarded her Master's in Psychology. We're soooo proud, not just because of her achievement but for the fact that she was totally aimless at school and a real airhead. Scraped into university, found a subject she adored and just took off. Now planning to study for her Doctorate whilst working for Corrections in Wellington. A long, long way from that little girl who drove us nuts, even if we did love her to bits at the same time!

Just shows that when someone discovers something that they are really passionate about, no matter what it is; the sky really is the limit.

I think a few single malts will be consumed tonight by way of toasting :whistle:

That is so cool! Congratulations! It gives you a really big buzz when your kids do something like that!

[p.dath]

That's great news she has found her place in life. No doubt you have another proud moment coming up at the capping ceremony.

[merv]

Nice one, good on her.

[SMOKEU]

Is she hot?

[Usarka]

Nice one & congrats, I might need her number :crazy:

Working for corrections and doing a doctorate. Not taking things lightly then.....!

[short-circuit]

She has Triumphed, you have Triumphed - go collect your Triumph :2thumbsup You've earned it

[vifferman]

That's good news, Geoff! My congratulations to her (and her proud parents). :niceone:

[Blackbird]

Thanks everyone, we're over the moon. Our two boys were always motivated where study was concerned but this is a wee bit special considering how she's changedl!


Is she hot?

Yep, I'd say she was attractive, even if she does dress like a Goth on occasions. However, she doesn't suffer fools gladly, so you'd be toast:2thumbsup. Actually she doesn't suffer fools at all and I'm more scared of her than I am her mother:argh:

[crazyhorse]

Well done. Guess it can surprise you when they finally grow up and do something amazing with their life. Maybe there's hope for my daughter yet :)

[yungatart]

Kids can give you the most wonderful surprises, eh?
And you end up wondering why you worried yourself sick over them.:lol:
Well done to you all!:2thumbsup

My two kids are chalk and cheese re schoolimg.Older one would've sat school cert-ncea 1 at 14yr,she wasn't bumped up a class in primary school which they reccomended,she cruised into secondary school and ncea,enough to get into uni(she had to have her bowel removed,thanks to my genes as a precaution against cancer in her year 12),she still managed to get the required grades and did a summer course to guarantee uni qualified.
Younger one is your typical average student,who has decided against uni,but will complete vet nursing.Then maybe apply for vet science course.Proud of them,you bloody bet.

Gosh, that's great to hear! :yes: I bet her teachers would be tickled pink!

[Beemer]

Good news, Geoff. Have a nice drop of malt for me!

I loved school but had no idea what I wanted to do and didn't find that passion until I was in my 30s - sometimes it just takes a bit of time and inspiration. Glad to hear she has done so well, that is a great achievement.

[Edbear]

Congrats to her! It's a real buzz when you work and achieve!

[ready4whatever]

Thats cool. I myself was an airhead, totally lost, used to get confused when people talked to me, lol. still am not quite right.. is there hope 4 me? nar, dont think so

[nudemetalz]

The sky is the limit when you have drive and motivation.

She got her Masters part time. She's been contributing to society as you put it for a few years.
