Moving a Step Forward in Life

I'm a proud parent. Dearra is moving to High School next year and I'm a little nervous because she's had such a rough year this year. Hope next year will go better for her!

Hi Neil, same here. i am always happy and proud seeing my kids moving forward. next week will be their recognition day and my two special kids will be receiving awards too. it's worth our hardwork to earn some more to provide for all their needs right? and of course let's not forget to provide quality time to our kids despite our busy schedules.

always did with my kids ya have to be very proud! Have a grndson across town that has got so many awards I cant name them all. Congrats to your son!

CONGRAULATIOS TO PATRICK & to you & your wife for raising such a fine young man. I know y'all are soo proud of him. My sons are grown w/kids of their own. My grandson will start kindergarten next new school term. I hope he's as smart & good as patrick.Y'all all have a nice weekend & give patrick a big hug for doing so well.

Well, my only son just turned 43 :) but his three boys are great ball players. does that count??? quita

my eldest will be throguh grade 1 this april. Although, he will not get honors i'm still proud that he will be on grade 2 this class opening. I don't want to put pressure on him. he may not be on top of his class but i know he is trying his best withing his capability. He has a long way to go and i will be just the supporting father at his side.

Neil, you must be a really proud and happy father.. to see your son growing and moving a step forward in life each time. That's an awesome feeling.. and I hope I'll be able to feel like an awesome parent someday.

We had our awards assembly several months back. My grandson is in the first grade. He didn't get 'best' of anything but he get most improved and most helpful and things like that. I am very proud of him and I think when he gets the hang of grade school he will do just fine. He doesn't have to 'best'.

Hi Neil, Gosh! you must be so proud of your little Patick, I know I would be if he was my child, so clever, I have no children but I would be sure proud too, congrats to your son and your family, hugs. Tamara

Of Course! My eight year old daughter does ballroom dancing and she has received several trophies and medals when she passed exams and I feel so proud each and every time that I want to jump out of my skin! There are other children that have earned the similar awards of course but in my eyes she is the only one in the world that has achieved! (LOL) I am the same if she receives a merit certificate at school etc. I guess you could say I am just a normal proud mother! By the way, congratulations Patrick!

of course I would be very proud if they have a smart kid and the best of friends. every person would want his son have an advantage. I am very pleased with all my child's development. I've spent my child's development, and I am very sorry. now I want to always follow all of my child's development. I want to make my child's achievement.

With me, it was when my child learned to tie her shoes. She was only twenty-one years old and after practicing all her life, she finally learned how to do it! We called everyone in both families to let them know of her wonderful accomplishment. She didn't receive a ribbon or certificate, but she learned something she can use every day. Our daughter was born with Down's syndrome and every accomplishment from rolling over to walking to this fabulous deed has been blessing after blessing.

Hi Neil, Congratulations to your son, and to you, indeed a proud father. And who won't be, with your child bagging awards left and right, you have every reason to be a happy and celebrate.

hello neil, I missed so many topics from friends...been too busy this month nah(ugh...so sad) Anyway...CONGRATULATIONS TO PATRICK...and of course to You and your wife,for having a bright son like Patrick. My eldest and only daughter will be graduating this coming March 31 and i am also a proud mom. Seeing my daughter finish her second stage of education made me a proud mom...thu this time she's did not make it to the top..it's ok,competition is too tough. I am very proud still becoz,she made one of the top , topnoch with the NCEA(national career assessment exam) and,she also passed the scholarship exam for college.(what more can i asks for?) Again...CONGRATULATIONS TO PATRICK...

You must be a proud father to have a brilliant and promising child. Looks like he will be a child to watch out as he has the capabilities to excel in future. That is the early start to show that there is more in him. I was once there enjoying every success that my son went through from the early years of his school life. He is an intelligent boy and as early as his kinder years he has become an emcee during his graduation day at his raw age of 6 years to the applause of few hundreds parents and teachers witnessing the graduation. He performed very well as an emcee and his teacher was very proud of him. Now he is 28 years old and is a successful geo-physist working in an international company. He is never a problem to me from the start as he excel both academically and socially. As parents we are always proud of our children when they performed well in life.

So you are again a proud father to Patrick! Congratulations! I know parents are the happiest whenever their children accomplished great things. It is nice to see them receiving awards and recognition. It compensates the hard-earned money we pay for their schooling. Well at least I am done with that. I have only one son and he has already graduated and now working. I was also a proud mother during recognition days way back then. He gathered lots of medals and awards from kindergarten till college. I hope your son continue the good job till college too.

It's wonderful to be proud of your child for what he can do but make sure that he know you love him no matter what happens. Children often put way to much pressure on themselves to be the best. We all know we cannot be the best at everything and a child who is outstanding in most things can be layed low by the things he is not so good at.

Moving a step,forward,is the best thing to do as we are in this life if due to some reasons it stops,then we should move forward!
