The Young Man

So, OSSS (Oldest Son of SoulSlam) is an 8th grader, and had to make a choice on HS. The public school is where most of his pals will go; there's Catholic HS which I could barely afford (but find a way); and there are specialized Academies, where the student receives a focused curriculum along with typical HS study.

OSSS decided to apply for the Academy of Law and Public Safety, which is situated in another public HS (not the one in our area). He tested in November. Interviewed a couple of weeks ago, and was told today that he was accepted. I could not be more proud.
