Ok, the day has finally arrived !

Like many school children in the UK, my son is writing the famous 11+ exam today @ Wilson's Grammar School in Sutton. Apart from this school, he is also aiming to appear for a couple of other schools (its actually us parents choice).  :)

I met him this morning at the Victoria station to wish him all the best and also to give him some last minute tips. As a 10 year old boy, he told me that he has no fear and will try his best.  I know he has worked hard and I wish him all the best.

Life for us as a family is too tough at the moment. Two kids and their demands. Unable to save enough to buy a property and I am not talking about a big property, a 2Bed maisonette maybe :( .. this sometimes saddens me. Like many other honest families in London, we are too are struggling but hope to provide a better future to the kids.

I will keep you updated with the progress.


================

@12.45pm - They finally reached the school after a struggle. Wife called and wasn't happy with my instructions of how to reach the school. She took the navigation in her own hands and found the way to the school.
There were nearly 250 students outside the gate. Wow! this is great. 150 seats and nearly 1500 students will be sitting the test.

Anyways, exam will start in about 15mins and I wish my son and all the children who are appearing today all the best.
