Last summer (well if you haven't posted for a while, you'll get a lot of content lol) both my boys passed their exams for school. Still a milestone in their and our lives. They both worked hard to pass with good grades. We are very proud of both, two completely different boys but real brothers.
From school they organized a graduation ceremony where both boys were told a nice story from their school careers. Very nice to hear and a nice end to a high school career :)
my youngest son still had problems choosing a further education, he actually wanted to join the army or a job in construction, but both are not possible. Due to a medical error, when he was 6 years old, his arm was permanently damaged, so that he can not use his arm for long and heavy and the anatomy has changed due to the many operations he had to undergo. For him, a limited choice in the future has had a major impact, he has had a very difficult time with it for a long time. Nevertheless, he eventually found a good education. He would like to become a personal counselor for young people with a difficult background or need for help. A noble profession where many people are needed, and with his social skills and kindness and patience that will be all right.
My oldest son is in a selection process with the Marine Corps. A tough (physical and mental) selection where not many people go through to the second round. although we hope and think that he will make it, we did ask him to think about plan b. What if you don't make it, what are you going to do? He has thought about that and if he does not make the selection, he will study International Business in Utrecht. Also a great study with which he can go in many directions, but of course we hope that his dream comes true and he can get started with the Marine Corps.
Have a great evening all !!
