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!

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!
