Cole is a very tough critic and demands a lot of himself. I love that he keeps his standards high. This past academic year he catapulted himself over so many distractions and excelled in each of his courses. That focused effort resulted in tremendous marks. Happily he continues to work hard and knows very well that this year and next are the ones that "count". Last year was just practice.
I'm so very proud of him.
