Proud of my teenager

[alibubbles]

I am bursting with pride, my DD, 17 has been offered a place to read French at Uni in Paris. There were only 30 places available!

She has also been offered Nottingham, Bristol, Sheffield, Kings and Southampton to read French and German.

We are all off to Paris for a weekend in Feb to see if she likes it, there is also a parents programme so we can see what we think too.

She deserves her success because she works so hard, I never have to ask if she has done her homework, whereas DS (16) well, he has mock AS's tomorrow and has not opened his books yet!

Well done to her, alibubbles - no wonder you're proud!

Wow! Thank you so much for your kind messages, yes we are very proud her, plus she is such a lovely child ( sorry, young woman) too.

The parents prog is just about accomodation, meals, course options and living in Paris etc.

Thanks Twinkie, you never know when she might need help or refuge, she's a brilliant babysitter too!

I am a little nervous about her going, nut allergies, asthma, etc but it is only a train ride away, she could have opted for Edinburgh miles away and she did survive a month in Peru despite being airlifted out of the jungle by military Hercules during the civil war in Tarapoto!

That's great, Alibubbles, it sounds like 2004 has started off brilliantly for you and your family. Do tell us more about the parents' programme.

Don't worry about ds. From what I read on another thread just now it sounds like he is one of those annoying people who can get away with not swotting!

Well done to your dd alibubbles. You are very lucky to have 2 wonderful children.
I'll bet you'll miss her . Iam dreading ds going to uni and hes only 11
Good luck to you and your dd. she has a wonderful exciting time ahead.
