about 3 weeks now and got a call from his old high school today to substitute. His sisters still go there, so every class had someone in it that knew one of his sisters. After school all I heard from the girls' friends were squeals, "Your brother was my math sub today!" All smiles from everyone!

Next up for #1 is his Masters in Education which doesn't start for a few months. He will substitute while going to school which will hopefully lead to a position when he graduates.
For anyone else out there with teenagers, remind them that they really need to keep their driving record clean if driving will be part of their job description! #2 would be very disappointed if his driving record was bad and he couldn't get his ambulance license. Same goes for criminal records, and drug offenses for either of these professions.

Kathy, this is great news - what a proud Mom you are and should be - how wonderful for your sons, too. It sounds like such a great eventful household. Your advice is so sound, too. One never realizes as a child or young adult what really will affect their job careers later on. We can only hope to advice them well enough that they try to be good upstanding people with they are young and into their adult life.

Congratulations to a proud mum. Further useful information/advice to young people and careers is
1 Have a sensible email address when applying for a job
2 Daft postings on Facebook are a not advisable. Neither is it sensible to say you are off for the day as you had a late night and too much partying

Great advice. Both of my boys had to change their email addresses after high school when they became "men" and started networking with the "real world".

Congrats to the kids! I LOVE Proud Mom Moments! It doesn't matter how young or old they are, they still need a pat on the back from Mom. Mine are grown and still they get the "I'm proud of you!" from me. This is the one job I'll always have-----and now, GRANDMA! Hard to say which is better!
Good for you for raising such smart kids. I wouldn't want to raise mine in this day and age. I say congrats to you too Mom! You certainly did something very right!

I feel proud just hearing about your children. I have two daughters both moms of three and also both teachers. One daughter taught at a school where her kindergarden teacher still works. Its wonderful to have my children close. Good advice I tell my daughter that "their record stand alone"..

Isn't it great when they have their head together. Sounds like all of your children are doing great and you have all the reasons to be proud of them.

This is great sewmom & something to be proud of. It takes dedication & hard work this day in time to get educated. The ambulance & fire Acadamy , this very commendable & hard work. The teacher, as mother & grandmother of 5 kids with masters & 1 Phd I congratulate you. all of these are in education & all are teachers in High School except the Phd & he is a professor at the University. I have yet another Grand son who is getting his Masters in Aero Space engineering. I believe in getting all the education you can. You have done a wonderful job of being a mother.
