Josh' Recognition Day

After ten months of studying hard and giving all his efforts in all their activities in class my little boy made it to the top.  It's hard to be on the top of their class because they're all good and the school choose only 3 per grade level to include in their recognition rite.  This year they've picked up 6 in Josh' class to give medals and certificates to recognize the students' best endeavor not just in examinations but in all of their school programs and extra curricular activities.

My son is very happy with the announcement that he'll be included in the ceremony for the honor students and he's so excited with their mini play and presentation.  He whispered to me that he'll be more attentive and diligent next school year so he'll be in the top 3.  For me with or without honor I'll still be proud of my son.  He'll always be the top student for me :-)

Gen's Recognition Day

Took my leave from office to attend my daughter's recognition day.  Last year she got the Best in Music award and since she got very good grades she was transferred to cream section together with 2 of her classmates.  She was actually telling me at the start of the school year that she's not that sure to get into the top 5 because all of her classmates are as good as her.  

I told her that when everyone has the knowledge and capabilities it's perseverance that will take you to have the top position.  And even if she will not make it to the top 5 I'll still be proud of her. Now after 10 months of trying to give her best on all school activities, programs and examinations she did it again and got the top 5 honor and Best in TLE award.  This girl who dreamt of collecting medals since she was 3 years old added 2 again on her collection.  Of course we're proud of her but with or without medals we'll still be proud and happy for her because she did her best.
