Very Proud Mom!

Just had to share with my lovely forum friends.
Andrew was told by the headmaster today that he will be the school dux! :medal1:
I may have shed a few very happy tears after all he has been through, I am so proud. For those of you who don't know what that is (my American cousins hadn't heard of it) - "dux is the modern term given to the highest ranking student in academic achievement". It is a really big deal, he will get his name on the honour board at school and it will stand him in good stead for uni applications. :ybiggrin:

Woohoo! That is awesome! Way to go, Andrew! You're right I wasn't sure what dux meant! I know you're super proud!

That's amazing! My ds is in Year 12 so I understand how important everything is for Uni applications and these kids do it all against MASSIVE odds!

You're absolutely right - had never heard that term before :lol:.

Way to go Andrew!! He's a STAR :dance: :dance:!

Wow! That is amazing! Here it would probably be similar to the valedictorian.

Andrew, you have made all of us very very proud. I would take inspiration from you.

I am sure this is the first in a long line of honors that you would achieve in the future.
