It's All About The Effort
As many of you know, my son got into Bishops College Prep School in Sherbrook Canada. Without being "THAT Dad", he is an A++ student and is pretty darn good at hockey as well. It made sense for him to pursue academics and athletics in the Big Wide Open Ocean of education instead of being […]
