He’s going to College in the Fall and working this Summer as a cook at a local restaurant/roadhouse. He likes the part-time job. He had his prom a couple of weeks ago and they had fun.
How are you doing?

Nice to hear from you. Wishing you a great Summer with your family!

Nice to hear from you. I think Matt found it to be bittersweet. It started to sink in with him that life is changing and he’s that much closer to being a young adult.

Thank you for comments from the good girl gone bad. ;) Believe me, time flies. I can remember Matt’s first day in Junior Kindergarten.

Congrats to me for surviving through Matt’s high school years, hahaha…I have to say that this year has been trouble-free, because Matt decided to put the effort in at a new Catholic school that he transferred to.

We are not Catholic, but Matt liked the Grade 12 programs at Holy Trinity, plus his girlfriend went to that school as well. ;) Last Summer, we met with the principal and arranged for him to transfer.

Matt is going to a local college, so he won’t have to pay for room and board away from home. ;) It’s definitely a new situation and another chapter.

A new stage in life has begun. Matt is going to college in the Fall.

Nice to hear from you. Wishing you a beautiful Summer!

Thanks very much for your well-wishes, Jessy. I like the smiley person. :)
It was sometimes quite stressful, but now Matt has moved on to a new stage in life.

We are also pleased that he completed 10 courses in French during High School, so he received an official Bilingual Certificate for French and English. His knowledge of French will really help him if he wishes to stay in this part of Canada. We border on Québec and there is a requirement for two languages for roughly 80% of the job openings in Ottawa. When I hear my sons speak French, their accent is remarkable. ;) Even though Adam dropped out of Immersion in Grade 8, his accent is still quite good, since he was also in Early Immersion from age 5.
