SFA

A few months ago my son like all other kids to there tests at school. well a week or so ago he received a $1000 scholarship from the state for posting up the highest score in the state!!! he did the same last year but that was 8th grad so there was no scholarship.. and yester day we received a letter from one of the state representatives congratulating him on a job well done.. he is in 9th grade and taking 12th grade classes... All of my kids are extremely smart and all of them are honor roll students

That's awesome!
Congrats!

Congrats!

In 2 years have your congressman nominate him for a slot at one of the Academies for college.

Congrats ELI

he has mentioned M.I.T he likes engineering

Brag away !! its good to be proud of your kids, without that, they have nothing to work toward.. Sounds like he has a bright future

Awesome and congrats

That would awesome. Rose Hulman in Terre Haute, Indiana is a great engineering school. Nice small school, with a great campus.

he keeps up the good marks the Collages will find him

Seriously, he should seek appointment from a congressman for one of the academies.

So when is he going start polishing for you?

Good for him! A great accomplishment.

tomorrow !!!!

WOW, Eli! That's GREAT for him, and you hae EVERY right to be a proud father and crow about it!

AND, I'm confident they have good heads on their shoulders knowing how and what you teach them, Amen.
Awesome!!


Not to hijack this thread, but we need more of this next generation to be smart AND level headed to help get our country out of the mess it's in.

You should be bottling your tap water and selling it.

if he has any interest at all in electronics encourage him to get a ham radio license.

There are excellent ham clubs in virtually every city to help out a rookie and you have the opportunity to learn a lot of really technical stuff in a very fun environment.

I recently became a ham after thinking about it for 40 years and I was surprised how deeply the hams get into electrical theory. I am having a lot of fun with it.

I think the ARRL (American Radio Relay League) handbook includes something like 1/2 of all the coursework I had in electrical engineering in college.

good idea !

I just had a meeting with my younger sons teachers to set up his classes for next year and it seams as though his options may be limited only to the level of classes offered to his grade level. His test scores say he is way ahead of his current grade. he is in the 5th grade and his reading is at a 10th grade level. All of his tests show the same. It seams as though all my kids are leaving quite the impression with there teachers.

The difficult thing is keeping smart kids from getting bored in school, you got your work cut out.

That is outstanding!!! Way to go Eli.
