My next-to-baby is starting college on Monday--prereqs for nursing school at the community college, Lee. I am glad Ames decided not to fight me about staying home rather than going away--it feels right. What with all the struggles and transitions in his life, he needs a little more support than some. I am just happy that he is moving forward and setting goals.Oh, and he has a $5000 scholarship!
Will is starting his third year at UT Austin--not sure when first day is. He will really have a busy year, studying and working to pay his way.
Hannah is starting at the University of Houston as a transfer student. Her education has gone a bit slower, but she had to get through some life lessons first. She has attended Lee College and Wharton Jr College.
Rachel is a graduate of Wheaton College with a degree in English, emphasis on writing. Although she has worked as a nanny since then, and as far as I know will be paying on student loans for years, I have to believe the education and experiences she went through were valuable. She spent two years at Lee College in the Honors program before transferring.
Bryan got his GED at 17 and has taught himself everything he needs to know to be a successful man and world traveler. He always was extremely self-motivated even as a young child.
My oldest baby has been in the school of life for quite a while, and finished massage school this summer. He has made a good choice, and I hope he is able to finish his required massages and get his certificate soon. He will bless many with his touch.
I started out planning to write about the end of summer and it turned into this. I am so proud of all my kids. They are all unique individuals, and some have had harder roads than others. I hope they all know how much I love them and miss them, and hope they all are able to be parents so they can understand that kind of love and blessing.
