I don't know the struggles you went through, but congrats to him and you and your wife for helping him get to that achievement.

Congratulations! As I teacher, I don't know your specific struggles, but I know the struggles they all go through to get there. It is quite an accomplishment!

Thanks, all

How wonderful! Congrats to your son!
I used to be a teacher, and the kids with the most challenges to overcome had the most heart and determination than the others.......what an achievement!
