Way to go Tishie's kid! I don't know anyone who ever looked back on their life and said "I wish I hadn't done so well in school."

It took my son his whole life to figure that one out - plus four years in the military - but thankfully he did. I guess he prefers to learn his lessons the hard way. He's in college now, and we just found out he's on the dean's list - 3.8 out of a possible 4.0 GPA. It's a first for him because he never took school seriously. I overheard him one day tell a friend that getting an A on a really hard test or class is better than alcohol or any drug known to man.

Congratulations to you and your son.
Thanks for this!
