College, here we come...

It is really hard to believe that our son is starting to visit colleges. As a high school senior, the time is now. This weekend, he is visiting two colleges in Vermont, and stopping by a third to get a good view of the campus of a much larger university (my wife’s grad school). Jake and his two closest friends have come a long way since they started in kindergarten together. There is so much for him to do, and so much for us to do. We need to look at finances, logistics, and to help guide him into making the best decision he can.

School Starts Again

The summer has seemingly come to an end. School started for the kids this week, and Sue and I went to our first College Info meeting for Senior parents. Lots of great information was presented by two of the school counselors, and we got to meet the new high school principal. Jake’s main counselor is very familiar with Sue, but I finally got to put a face to the name I’ve heard for over a year. She is just as nice as I have heard.

The information was presented in a very organized way, making the overwhelming info into a sensible format. That said, I am really glad that Sue is the organized one that will be helping Jake get the paperwork completed. I’ll input the financial information, but Sue will get the rest done with Jake’s input.
