Very proud of my hardworking grandson

Can't believe I'be missed this thread! What a great boy, merlot, you are right to be proud!

Bravo- very deserving effort.

Good for him. Such dedication is getting its just reward. You have every right to be proud of him merlot.

Is there a better feeling than proud Mum or proud Grandma? Well done him.

Brilliant! The next Noel the super vet in the making.

That's fantastic.

Star boy.

Well done!

You do worry when they are the youngest in the year but he has proved it doesn't make a difference if you have drive and determination.

You are absolutely right to be proud of him!

He sounds a good, decent boy and it is good to be reminded that some youngsters still have the gumption to know to get what they want they have to be prepared to work hard to get it.

I wish I knew him personally. When the 3 boys who are my neighbours found employment and 1 an apprenticeship I gave them £50 each to buy petrol for their first month of getting to work and one it paid for his transport costs for 3 weeks.

Well done that lad!

Good lad - you are entitled to be proud of him.

Well he's certainly off to a good start. Well done that (young) man!

Thanks. When he showed me the acceptance letter I said, 'Are you absolutely sure?'

'It'll be fine, Granny' he kept saying although on his first day, DD, who had a day off, tailed the bus as he'd never been into Cambridge on his own before let alone change buses. Mums eh?

He's the baby of his year as his birthday is at the end of July. I hope he keeps his determination.

Excellent

I can see why you are so proud of him, the journey alone would put a lot of people off! I hope he does well in the future, he deserves it.

He worked really hard for it merlot! Only fourteen too!

Well done that boy.

Well done Merlot's GS. How lovely that his efforts were so appreciated.
