Thanks, flea. He is 23. Our CCs have sports, probably because of the size of the schools. I was hoping to have him go in another part of the state though because he is better off away from home territory. I'll probably have him do the ACT since he hasn't just to get him in a study frame of mind. I just did our taxes so I'll get on the FAFSA right away.
The main reason for looking for one with a basketball program is the incentive to keep him going. He probably is good enough to get on most teams, but not the very competitive programs.
Thanks, Laura. I think I need an Experience but most things are not those.
Erika, if you were common enough to be a stereotype the world would be a much more kick-ass place.
Thanks.
There's a sentence you don't say very often, unless you're us.
Question about college entrance type stuff. Son will probably go to school in the fall. He took the SAT in 7th grade, then again in 2009. He never took the ACT. Should he take both of those this summer. Is June too late?
I'll note that Emmett scored MUCH higher on the ACT than the SAT, and that did wind up getting him better financial aid, so there are some benefits to doing both.
Me too, because they count more than just Verbal and (my nemesis) Math.
Ryan quote of the day. This morning, I'm eating breakfast, when Ryan comes up and taps me on the forehead with a pencil sharpener.
Me: "You just bopped me on the head with a pencil sharpener."
Ryan: [grinning] "Will there be retribution?"
For those keeping track, there was, indeed, retribution.
I hope you are keeping a log of these for him to enjoy in the future. No doubt older Ryan will be delighted by younger Ryan.
