The Big Man!

[Dan693 510]

Can hardly describe how proud I am of him. First kid to play college sports on either side of my fam forever. Started on the O line and won a 6A championship at Carmel last year.

Zero thug and zero tats although thats where he was headed with the non-parent mother of his before I won sole custody of both kids.....and she paid me for the privilege.

 

If you are a Dad please fight your ass off. It cost me 30K but I won big league.

 

He just changed the oil in his car and didnt push back too much when I told him to vacuum out his car cause it was a mess. I dadded out and detailed the rims on his car.....I hate brake dust.

 

He had a 3.7 GPA at graduation. Well see when I get mid term grades from college but I'm not worried.

 

He is fascinated by my 50 YO Wheel Horse tractors. Gawd he is awesome.

Seems like your hard work is yielding a great outcome.

Very cool! Carmel eliminated my high school, Penn, in the semi-state that year. Yea, that stung a bit but only at the time. A success story like this lasts a lifetime and sure brings a smile to my face. Makes a parent realize what's really important in life. Congratulations.

Very very cool Quite an experience when the recruiters come knockin'  We had that experience and tried to give the best advice we could. It all turned out pretty good, but this is about your son. Congratulations!

 

   Despite of what they say, a kid can still work/scholarship their way through school. Our daughter still has a bit of debt, but is also saving for retirement that she started her freshman year. Encourage your son to network with professors on career advice or even tell them if a particular topic in a lecture sounds like something he might be interested in doing research on.  That is how research assistants are born. it can pay big bucks as well as take him on a career path he had no idea that he would pursue.

That's a son to be proud of for sure. And many thanks to you for your parenting skills and developing such a fine young man.

Not planning on him playing football past Trine. I am concerned (and have been since junior high) about head injuries. Its not that he's 6'8" and 280....he's just a really good student of the game.

We'll see.

Awesome!

He scored his first TD the other day in a JV game as a tight end. He has gotten in a few Varsity games at the end also. Not too shabby for a frosh and coming from the O-line position last year.

 

Thanks for all the nice words Bro's........I just bought the lumber.....he built the house.
