I know it would have been nice for me to know a few of these things going into highschool. heh I have no idea how old your son is, it may be way to early to worry about this stuff, but if he's in or near highschool age it doesn't hurt to spend a few hours empowering yourself with this kind of stuff. Best of luck, I'm sure everything will turn out great. http://www.collegeboard.com/article/...-23619,00.html http://www.coastal.edu/financialaid/ http://www.flseagrant.org/students/r...al/private.htm

Congrats MMAddog, now you can bring him to the east coast to learn boogy-boarding in the surf. My wife and kids spend every spare minute down at the beach all summer. Swimming is one thing, owning the waves is another.

And so he kept fighting his way up the ranks of the swimming world and kept winning and the costs got higher and you all sold your stuff and struggled to make it and he kept doing well and then he was on the boat to the Olympics and fell head-first onto the deck of the ship from a balcony and got up and was fine and he said, "I told you. I'm used to hard ships."

Our biggest issue was getting him correctly diagnosed.....we had a Pediatrician that just steadfastly refused to go along with the diagnosis of the Specialists for such a long time. He was great as a Family pediatrician, but he was too 'old-school'. We had to move here to Missouri, and get him re-diagnosed and get the new Pediatrician to affirm with the Specialist. What should have been diagnosed at age 7 didn't get resolved until he was 11. But all that is behind us.....and the big steps like these are just another in helping him adjust to his world around him. mmaddog ******* |
