Sam's turn to shine by seanoneill

Sam's turn to shine

My two boys go to Loughborough Grammar School, a private school in the nearest town to us.

Tonight it was the Year 10 parents evening, where Sam got his exam grades. He achieved.

A* Drama
A* English
A* Geography
A* Religious Studies
A* French
A Chemistry
A Physics
A Maths

He is a very talented young man, who needs a push every now and then, but these are grades to be proud of. Ben does very well, but today was Sam's turn to shine.

We are very proud parents.
Well done Sam

Wow, great work Sam! You and your wife must be very proud Sean. What a lovely looking school. So symmetrical, ivy and all. Except for the turret on the right of the centre tower. Can they crop it off? ;)

And what a gorgeous campus!
June 20th, 2012  
Gorgeous school and WAY TO GO, SAM!
June 20th, 2012  
P.S. You framed this shot absolutely perfectly!
June 20th, 2012  
Straight A student, you must be puffed up with pride, obviously a chip of the paternal block! Very traditional looking school, nice shot...

@tracywilliams @rockinrobyn @iridecentburden @jackie8 Thank you all, I am so proud of both my boys, but Sam deserves the credit he is getting. HE is such a lovely chap as well, and gets a bit of stick from me as we are so similar in personality, which means that sometimes he needs a kick up the backside!

What a lovely place to go to school, such a great setting, nice capture. So good to hear a success story these days, yes I would be proud too, congrats to Sam.
June 21st, 2012  
Is this a school? If so I want to go there!!! You should see the school I went to. Beautiful!!! Congrats on fantastic grades to Sam ;-)

@jennywren @zuzana Yes, this is the quad and clock tower at my boys school. It is a wonderful school where my boys get so many chances that their peers from their primary school don't get at a state secondary school. Mind, it costs me a lot of money each year, and it has clipped my wings rather in other areas!!!!
June 22nd, 2012  
WOW go Sam - congratulations - you must have been beaming and so damn proud. Also what a fabulous shot of a gorgeous building.
June 22nd, 2012  
@megsy Thanks Megsy, I am so very proud of him. Now about that ridiculously untidy bedroom Sam....
June 22nd, 2012  
what a cool building!
