So today at 3.05pm Tim got the call we were sitting waiting nervously for........but knew was coming! He had passed the other subjects for his diploma..........with a 9.5 for the English exam which was pronounced ineligible and void so hey, not passed his diploma!!! The sad truth is that if there had been no mistake made by his school, he would now know that he had really passed...but under the circumstances, and with the marks he already has for English, he will take the higher exam on Monday and be sure that his diploma is safely in his pocket. At the end of this month he will know the final result, but we went ahead and celebrated all the same. He and Arjan both passed as did all of Tim's class apart from one lad who just has one re-sit to make. So an excellent afternoon for us all!! Well done Tim and Arjan and Chris!!!!
Here's Tim popping the cork in the garden - a bit of bubbly for good measure, right?!
CONGRATULATIONS TIM!!!
And hanging out the flag with his school bag on it of course, which is a Dutch tradition. We only have English flags so we raised the Union Jack high and told everyone he had passed. Lots of congratulatory texts and messages from all our friends and family so that was really great.
I feel so relieved that he passed the other exams making the stress less for Monday. He can now think about getting prepared for his college course in August, and settle into his chosen career knowing that he can do it. I wish Becci had been here today but she sent her love so we were 'together in spirit' I feel. We are all very proud of him and it will be even better when he gets the last result through and we really can lay our hands on that bit of paper!!!!Sue xx
