… for Owen.
Today is the day that determines the start and shaping of his future. For today is the day his A Level results come out and based on them will be what university and what course he does.
He is a very clever and able child – I know all parents say and believe this, but we have results and statistics to back us up. At age 16 he did his GCSE’s (16 is the earliest age a child can opt to leave school in the UK) and for the part of the country we live in, he placed in the top 10 of students with those results. In his school only one person bettered his results and it’s no surprise that was a girl.
As some of you know and to cap it all – back in March he was hospitalised with glandular fever and is still suffering its effects now. So his results may not be those that were originally predicted
I am very proud of my eldest (and my other two) and he’s had a lot to fight for and against. It seems somehow appropriate that we named him Owen as it means “a youthful warrior” – so, if you remember then please do pray for him. God obviously has huge plans for him.
Oh, and as if he hasn’t done enough already, he wants to do a double honours in Physics and Computer Science.
