And as all who know me well know, I have 3 in high school at the moment....a junior, a sophomore, and a freshman....the junior, my oldest son Chris, is ramping up his college search.....His dad, who I divorced for various reasons years ago, is being quite adamant about him not attending the local university. Why I can't fathom, for it is where he attended. And the school has greatly improved even since then.......but that's ok, as I have yet to see or hear of Dad cutting a check for the tuition anywhere......But after all, it will be Chris' choice when all is said and done---not Dad's or mine....Chris is the one who will have to shoulder the burden of whatever his decision is and the financial ones as well.......as adamant as his dad is against the local school, is also how I feel about him going out of state, or to the other well known state school at the other end of the state. So I guess we need to put our issues out of the way and let Chris make up his mind about his future, which after all is his, not ours.......
At any rate, he is quite interested in a couple of schools, most notably Waynesburg, south of Pittsburgh......He is receiving course catalogs and flyers and phone calls several times a week in various combinations......He should be able to take his talents and intelligence anywhere he wants. He has a cumulative 3.8 + GPA, and that should count for something......
Then we have Ben, the freshman, who is still thinking about what he wants to do--and still has the time to do so.....and Kate, the sophomore, who at this point is not college material, but hopefully can parlay her interests and talents into something she enjoys doing that will support her.. We have talked with her about doing VoTech next year, for commercial arts or something similar, to get her foot in the door of a career or even to help her toward college. She loves art, and is very talented at drawing and stuff, so hopefully.....
