The Boy is finally ready to go to college. I told both the kids to take a year off after high school. The idea was to let them see what life will be like if they don’t get a degree in the hopes they would be serious about it.
For my son, that was three years ago. For a while it looked like was would never go back. He’s finally come around and started the whole process.
It reminds me of how happy I was when The Girl graduated high school. When went through the ceremony with clear misgivings. I was dancing on the moon. No more parent teacher meetings. No more shoveling kids out the door in time to get to class. I felt Like I was the one to graduate.
Now it starts up again, but with a big difference. No one is going to call be up and demand that I do something about his behavior. It’s all on him now. I just hope he does well.
