only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
A few weeks ago I met with Boomer’s teachers and advisors to help him with his schedule for next year. He’s been undecided about his future but suggested that he take some building construction classes since that’s the line of work his dad and brothers are in. That seemed like a good choice.
Then last week Boomer mentioned to me that he’s having his schedule changed. He’s dropping building construction and adding Spanish I the first semester and Spanish II the second. He wants to go to college; he’s thinking of becoming a physical therapist.
We live very close to a number of colleges and universities, so there’s no reason he can’t live at home and commute. My mom bought child insurance when he was born for a flat rate that converts into college scholarship money when Boomer graduates (or into an adult policy if he doesn’t go to college). It’s only a couple thousand dollars but it sure will help. Every little bit does.
I’m proud of Boomer for setting a goal for himself. His math teacher says he has a knack for math and expects Boomer to take calculus or advanced calculus his senior year. He’s on the Principal’s Honor Roll with straight A’s right now in all regular classes. You see, Boomer has a learning disability but refuses to take the “easy” classes. He pushes himself to achieve.
Yeah, I’m very proud of Boomer.
