They don't have to "be" anyone, or "do" anything or earn bags of money.<br />In high school it's all about Your Career. It's really hard for kids who don't know what they want to do. Third child doesn't know, but her older sister said complete year 12(you don't have to do VCE exams) but many jobs require year 12 if only to narrow down the number of applicants. She is at art school and works in a coffee shop and apparently resumes without yr. 12 are tossed. Like you Need yr 12 to be a barista? Really.<br />Years ago a primary school asked prep students what they wanted to be when they grew up. One little fellow said, "Myself". Well said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-75032616859417019862012-04-21T22:00:59.104+10:002012-04-21T22:00:59.104+10:00Love it!

On a more practical note we had your chicken recipe as well as an altered version of the slaw for dinner tonight. It was a huge hit and much appreciated by all (including me who now has another dinner I know everyone will eat in my repertoire). So thanks very much all round.sunflowersupernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-35765691785390658652012-04-19T16:20:23.901+10:002012-04-19T16:20:23.901+10:00Gorgeous and wise words Ruth.

Even though I'm sure some people are just imagining the boys future, I am trying to focus on who they will be rather than what they will be.<br /><br />I adore that photo of Boys Road!!!<br /><br />This recipe looks amazing!!!

You remind me of my mum! She used to say the exact same thing when people asked the same ridiculous question of her. I understood her response logically but only properly upon seeing my Sebastian grow up. Thwre is nothing I want more than to raise my boys to be the best, most loving, "good" version of themselves they can be. Your holiday sounds pure perfection!
