Title: Had to do a little bragging! Post by: mznb1u on August 07, 2010, 05:23:50 pm My 16 year old son, Tim, will be entering his senior year in high school this year. I am very proud of him for deciding to walk in the Breast Cancer 3-Day this year in Michigan. This is a 60 mile walk over 3 days and you have to raise at least $2,300 to walk. He has raised over $2,500 and will be walking with me starting next Friday. :biggrin:
But it gets even better!!! Today he received an early acceptance letter to Michigan Technological University for the College of Engineering! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: Had to play the proud Dad role!!! :happydrinkers: :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Had to do a little bragging!
