I am so proud of my son and who he has turned out to be. Granted, I feel like most parents can say that, but I definitely am proud of him. I am especially proud of the fact that he did not cave to peer pressure. In highschool, the teachers were asking what the students wanted to grow up to be. My son wanted to become a heating and air conditioning worker. Since we live in a fairly upscale neighborhood, this is not really a common interest and definitely not what the teacher was expecting. She actually tried to discourage him from pursuing his interest and told him that being a heating and A/C worker would be a waste of time and potential! He was hurt, and when he told me this, I was furious! I made sure to complain about that teacher to the principal. I really hope she remembers that comment when her heating and A/C unit breaks down. I told my son he should be whatever makes him happy, so long as it also pays the bills. Being a HVAC worker does both and is the perfect job if he really wanted it. Well, that was years ago, and he followed his dream. He went to A/C university, and graduated as a certified heating and air conditioning specialist. I am so proud of him, and I know he does a fantastic job as an air conditioning worker. I only wish that others could say the same thing. But he doesn’t need their approval, his job will always be in demand.
