Daughter had cheerleading this evening so boyfriend and I went to the grocery store and then took a ride. I took him to where the kids at my high school went, when I was in high school, to make out.We sat in the car drinking our hot chocolate, and watched the snow fall. It was nice.
Daughter was a little down today after school. Her boyfriend has been offered a "free ride" to his choice of 3 different universities. The closest one is two hours away.......
For a teenager, 2 hours away may as well be 15 hours.
So we talked a bit. I think our talk helped her to feel better.
Daughter took the ACT a second time. ( i hope I'm not repeating myself.) She raised her total score 2 or 3 points. I was pleased. She also took an entrance exam at a small school in Ohio and had a look around. Prior to her visit to the school she had her mind set that it was the place she wanted to attend. After her day there she had a change of mind.
She has choices. I'm happy she's exploring them.

Teenagers come with their own set of problems that we have to be ready to respond to. Good luck with yours.
Too many kids are going to college to learn no useful skills when they should be going to trade schools to learn real trades.
I agree with you, Billy.......and it's something we're considering.
