Very proud of my oldest son (13). He competed yesterday in the regional competition for History Day and was selected to go to the State Finals competition. This is a pretty big deal as there are only 1200 kids in the whole state that are selected. There are quite a few different types of project classes from which the kids choose to compete. There were only 3 projects in his category from his region that were selected.
My son's project was a documentary on the USS Nautilus - the first U.W. Nuclear powered submarine. He has put a lot of time in on it and did a really great job. Makes this Dad extremely proud!!!! I will see if we are allowed to put it up on you tube yet, if so, I'll post a link to it in case you are interested.
I really was hoping he could advance to the state competition with his project as he was disappointed and a little confused as to why his Science Fair project (the Hover Craft I posted earlier) did not. I just wanted him to have some recognition of his extra efforts on these types of things.
So we celebrated with $5 Pizza, a DQ Blizzard and of course - working on getting his EOT Model Rare Bear completed. Although we didn't finish it yet, we made some progress.
RC (Proud as can be) Dad
