What will you do now? what are you going to do for the rest of your life? what do you want to do?
Everyone who has watched their child go through High School, now they are picking out schools, How in the world could they possibly and truly know that answer, they have yet to experience life outside the protection of their parents, for some the pressure to know what they will do next is to much. However they will get a chance to explore many options, my thoughts are as follows:
Currently as I continue my education In Atlanta I realize how much self discipline it takes to show up every day and do the work. It is a reward that will come later, not so much in the present. I find it difficult to say the least , AND truly grateful for the opportunity. I'm reminded everyday that College rt out of high school teaches our kids so much more than just books and lectures, it teaches self discipline, how to get along with others from different cultures and values, how to work toward something without the instant gratification, character and accountability that is an extenuation of what we have taught them the 18 years they were home. I'm in my 40s and I am reminded of all the things I could have saved myself the trouble if I had made better decisions at the time, I'm also grateful to get to do it now, along my son Austin who is in College, And Sydney who is in high school and college, At Least I get the opportunity to see them do what I was not willing to do at my chance, For that and many other opportunities that I am rendered speechless ,,,,"PRICELESS"
