Last week, just after 9 am my cell phone rang. It was K's school calling to ask why he was not in the exam room to write his 8.30 am exam. The lady could not confirm exactly which exam this was. I got all flustered and yelled to K to get downstairs, that we had to go to school immediately. Fortunately M was still at home and called the school. It turned out it was a scheduling error and K's exam was at 11 am as we thought. They apologized, but still it was very upsetting. He had studied hard all week, and to think he might have missed the exam!
My niece was even more upset at her school. It seems she was all ready to go to her last exam only to find it was cancelled/postponed by 3 days, because of a storm warning which never materialized.
Anyway, I'm happy to report that K passed all his courses this past semester and it's on to his final high school semester. He has also been accepted to College and will have to select from his 5 choices soon! He's really happy and seems to have matured lately, thinking seriously of what will lead to a job he likes and a career.
