Mattman Is On a Roll

“Matthew, come down.” Sheryl was reading a letter that came from the high school.

“You have been selected to join the National Honor Society,” she read from the enclosed invitation.

That was Wednesday for Matt. That dude’s on a roll.

National Honor Society. Aces in all his classes, including a full load of AP courses. (From what Sheryl tells me, he’ll likely complete a year’s worth of college classes by the time he graduates high school.) On his own initiative applied for and got a new job at an electronics store for much more money that he was making at the grocery store. (This in an area where few kids work because their parents give them everything.) He did great at BMW Teen Driving School. Last night he cracked me up when he came downstairs with a bag of things to toss out from his room. (He cleaned it without being asked.)

It’s fun to watch the transition from childhood to young adulthood. And Mattman is on a roll.

I’m a proud papa.

  • Congrats Proud Papa! You and Mama are doing good! Congrats! :-)
  • As well you should be. Rock on Mattman
  • Tami Mottet
    I'm sure you'd agree he's acts exactly like his uncle(s) Bob! Seriously, sounds like the boys are both thriving, you have the right to be proud!
  • Thanks, Pax. We're really happy with how this is going. He's 16, which is an age when things should be jumping off the tracks. It's just not happening that way. Yay for him and cheers for us! Thanks for the toast!
  • You have ever right to be proud of him. Furthermore it shows what a good job you and your wife did raising him.

    I raise a toast to Mrs and Mr Frank for a job well done!
