Our son # 1 AGAIN!


O... I have to brag....

For the second time, last year and this term this year Stephen scored/placed #1 in his electrical class.(mind you I had to hear this from his teacher and another parent who he is friends with)(he is a modest kid) Yahoo! smart kid of ours. What does this mean> well only the top 3 out of 15 can work in the electrical field outside of class. He gets to work with an electrician from near by Saugus.We were up at the crack of dawn to get him there by 6am, we here at the Rafs are early birds so that is not a problem. lol He makes really good money but the hours of apprenticeship he gets are far more valuable to obtain his licence as a Master Electrician. We are so proud of the love and devotion he has for the path he has chosen. He worked for 8 hours today. His timekeeper job never goes over 5 (child labor laws) and he sits for that so I am sure he is a bit worn. The stuff he did in a remodel today blew our minds. We are like WOW kido u r good. Kudos to our first born. Who would of ever thunk...lol back in the day our son was going to rewire remodel homes. Hey buddy our bathroom fan needs replacing too. LOL LOL family discount...lolGO Stephen....
btw.....his boss at the rink is so understanding that he will not be working too many hours now that he has an apprentice job and I am so greatful for that. He still gets his Friday hours.
