    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      If you'll forgive the boasting, he really knocked it out of the park after a slightly shaky start. He had a dismal year in 2020 doing Mechanical Engineering at Wentworth in Boston, which he absolutely hated, and also got derailed by Covid. Since then he worked for a while, then went back to do a non-engineering course at community college, and finished in the top 5% of the school despite having to drive a 50 mile commute three times a week.

      I was only joking

              Congratulations to you kid, and may he find continued success in the next steps of his academic journey.

              Education is extremely important.

                  I'd be a bit aggravated myself at the way the ceremony was handled...Nonetheless, congrats to your son (and his parents!)

                    That’s really great! What is he thinking of studying for his bachelor’s?
