Proud Mam and Dad

[Sapper383]

To avoid any confusion Sam is not posting this thread, i'm Richard, Sam's husband and original owner of this profile which Sam has now hijacked.

For 8 weeks at the start of this summer my DS and I have been on a South Wales Football Association referee's course. We recently sat our exam and our results came through last week.

We both passed, I scored 91% and my DS scored 93%.

By the way, my DS is 12 years old, has dyslexia and has only been playing football for 4 years.
I'm 37 and been involved in football as a coach and a player for over 20 years.

To say that Sam and I are extremely proud of our boy is an understatement.

I think he has performed brilliantly to achieve such an excellent result, despite what some people class as a disadvantage in education i.e. dyslexia.

I look forward with pride to next season when he will be taking up the whistle for his first competative matches.

No wonder you are proud parents. I always love a story where parent power proves the establishment wrong in doubting the abilities of children and education outside of what is considered mainstream

congratulations to you both and well done to your DS for overcoming so much and achieving such a great result in so short a time.
