I am a mom, in shock.

My son has been a giant pain in the behind this year in school! Has fought homework the entire way, been late, been mouth.....I called it Senioritis.

Then, today, was Academic Decathlon competition withour school and several others.

His teacher/coach and I have been having conversations about him, his attitude change....and she was ready to string him up because he got a 92----- out of 1,000 on his Math comp grade!!

Imagine my surprise when he was called up to get a medal, repeatedly, during the Awards ceremony. Three Gold, three silver and a bronze. BUT, at the end when they give awards for overall best between all the schools....he got a Silver 2nd place!! And the team will be going onto State Competition the weekend of March 11th.
