When your son brings a tear to the eye
Posted: 28 May 2019, 22:35
He is in his final year of Uni and finished his dissertation earlier this month.
His tutor sent him an email last week saying it was one of best and most concise pieces of work she had read for a few years...... And could she use it next year to show the students how a dissertation should be done? He told us he struggled to get close to the 10,000 word limit as he thought he would be filling it out with waffle.
He brought a copy home this weekend - aside from the thanks to his parents for believing in him, the work was quite brilliant and way beyond anything I could have done at that age. Or could do even now for that matter. His Uni education has cost him and his mum and me, a lot, both financially and in other ways but it looks like it's been worth it.
Fair brought a lump to my throat and a tear to the eye. He may not get a first but he will be damn close to it I think.
And to think his first teacher told us she couldn't understand him and had never met a child like him who was so difficult to teach. Well Mrs Birdsall - **** you! Seems you were the one lacking in that you could not see the genius within.
Wanted to share as the pride is immeasurable but also to show others on here who have kids who are in a similar position to that he was in at school a few years ago , that with patience, understanding, good teaching and finding an interest, then kids can achieve far more than some mght think.
