    Post away. I agree with everyone else. It's your page and if someone doesn't like it, they can ignore your posts.

    Did someone say something about you bragging too much?
    Never argue with an idiot. It will bring you down to his level and he’ll win because of experience.

    a family member asked me if I should be posting everytime because maybe some friends would feel like, great he won again and taking money away from my kid...Or feel like their kid could not afford school and I am bragging mine can?? So I was just curious what people thought...

    She wasnt saying I shouldnt do it, she just wondered what maybe people were thinking...

    Sounds more like she is jealous of your son's success. Brag away so much better to read those brags and some other posts that show up.

    I think too many folks think too much what others think. When I look into my mirror at the end of the day, I want to feel good about the person looking back at me, not if others approve. I have to honestly approve of me. If you approve of you, then you go, girl and tell the world and her brothers that your son is one heck of a man and you just couldn't be prouder of him if you tried!

    ... great he won again and taking money away from my kid...Or feel like their kid could not afford school and I am bragging mine can??
    This stuck with me ... he didn't "win" anything. No one pulled his name out of a hat... he didn't have a lucky number ... he EARNED his scholarships... hard work, disipline, and dedication. He is not "taking" anything away from anyone who was willing to do the WORK.

    Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    That thought is pure socialism. Some people do not want to do hard work so the ones that do the work cannot say anything when it pays off for them. That is what our schools are doing now though. No incentive for the kids anymore. Sad. Just ignore it and be happy for him.
