Yes, Wil is 16....and his ride is a motorcycle! This is his first day of school...what a change from the school bus! (Now that winter has settled in up here, he is using my car while I have started driving the Suburban again )Actually, Wil is going to a program called PSEO...Post Secondary Education Option...it is for Junior and Senior High School students that meet a high school ranking or standardized testing requirement to qualify. They can attend just about any public or some private Minnesota colleges or universities where they have residency and take college courses (full time or part time) that will count towards High School requirements and College credit as well, all paid for by the state of Minnesota. Our school doesn't offer the classes to be done on site at our building, so most of the kids that go from our school choose to go to Anoka-Ramsey Community College. He knows a lot of kids there, and attends full time. He just finished 16 hours this past semester, and is registered for another 16 hours next semester. We haven't received grades yet, but so far his first semester has been quite successful! He just may graduate high school with his Associates Degree! This is really helpful considering he is thinking about Pharmacy School and this will have most of his first two years of college finished and paid for.
Let me tell you, he has grown up a lot this past semester! Between his job as a cashier at Wal-mart, full time college load, taking care of his 2 bearded dragons...who has time for girls? ( I like that, can you tell?!!)
