Christy_D Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 My son was able to attend his graduation ceremony this evening. It was so exciting to see him attend, just leaving the house is big, so this was huge! He had a mild headache and his nausea was also mild, so sometimes prayers do get answered! Now, he just has to finish up one lesson, take a final and he will be completely done with high school. I am very happy right now!Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christy_D Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Thanks everyone. This has been a great achievement for him. A lot of his schoolwork was self taught. Since the eighth grade, he only attended school for 6 weeks his sophomore year. The rest has all been done through homebound teaching and on line classes. His school counselor said she never had a student who didn't attend school for four years graduate on time. This has been his goal the whole time so he took classes through the last two summers to make his goal a reality. I am very proud of him. He also graduated Magna Cum Laude!Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mydoggielovesme2 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Fantastic! Way to push through and keep living your life. Inspirational! Hope he keeps archiving his goals, now that this part of his life is behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskies Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Wonderful news! So great to hear that your son was able to persevere and achieve this fantastic goal with your help.I'm in Australia and have always wondered what 'magna cum laude' actually means. Going by some very faulty remnants of memory left of my 40 years ago high school latin lessons it seems to mean 'great with praise.' But I'm sure it's more definitive than that.blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
