Really proud of my daughter Lydia....

[Smiffy]

My 19 year old Daughter Lydia left college half way through her course last year, she was getting really fed up with it and her mates were all out earning money.
I tried to "advise" her to stay and see her course through, but she wouldn't listen.
Anyway, she hunted around for work locally, couldn't find any and ended up working at the local McDonalds for a pittance. She enjoyed it and knuckled down, has made some very good friends with her workmates. A couple of months ago she was called into the managers office, she thought she was going to get a telling off for something.
Turns out that she is very well liked by all of the other staff members there, and is very good at her job. She was offered the chance to go on a managers course!
Well, end result is she has just returned from sitting a 3 day exam in London earlier this week and out of 48 entrants she finished in the top 4 and passed her course with distinction!!
Well done Liddy. Dad loves ya xxxxx

Good looking girl Smiffy. Must take after her mother.

Good for her. Hope it leads to better things.

They say girls always take after their mother
Seriously, good for her

Nope. Deffo a "Smith". Looks nothing like her Mum.
And I've had the blood tests before anyone asks. Definitely mine...

Thanks for the kind wishes. I've just bought her a lovely piece of jewellery to say well done

Make yourself even prouder Smiffy and pass her my number.

Congratulations.

I am not a big fan of this pressure that everyone has to go to college or university. People will find their own way in the world and find a path that suits them so even bigger congratulations for her having the courage of her convictions.

Muchos Congrats.


Uni isn't for everyone (wasn't for me)...As has been said, people will find their own way in life.

Sat on the bog and actually laughed at that out loud!
Well done smiffette, good for the cv should the desire to move ever arise.

I can tell your a proud Daddy Smiffy. I echo the comments that further education are not for everyone. I couldn't imagine ever going to College or Uni which really pi55ed my Mum off.

Good for her for sticking the initial "do you want fries with that?" section of the employment!

Great work on her part for finishing top 4 too! Wish her all the best in her management career

Well done Smiffy, didnt know you had it in you


Really though well done to her

 

[medwayjon]

Nice to hear some good news mate and well done to your daughter.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Well done Smiffy and you've every right to be proud. It takes a certain amount of guts to make your own choice and veer away from the peer group pressure but she's reaping the rewards.

Too many people go to Uni / College doing trumped up no bloody use courses then expecting to walk into a well paid job, instead of getting out into the real world, starting at the bottom and working their way up. Good for her Smiffy, no wonder you're proud of her.

She's a good 'un alright. Always phoning her old man up to find out how he is. Brightens up a dull day she does.
My Son on the other hand....what a knob he is.
Takes just after his Mother
