[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 711626, member: 19887"] Maybe I didn't mention it... but yes, he applied and was accepted into an arts college. They are well respected and have a one year diploma that touches on many arts based careers..: then they have two and three year programs that specialize... you can even work towards a bachelors of fine arts at the university. It's in town, and is small with lots of great instructors. He said he felt we pushed the maths and sciences and that he stopped drawing and focusing on creative arts. I told him we would have encouraged artistic creativity and that I wasn't taking responsibility for that. He seems happy about it and my husband and I figure maybe this is a good program for his mental health. If he could do a one year program and actually graduate it would for sure boost him. However.... he has been in so many university programs and dropped out, with anxiety and depression the result. I don't want to get my hopes up. A few years ago he even got into a prestigious leadership program and we really thought it was "it". The crash is so hard. I want to hope again.... this isn't university, it is college and hopefully more suited to his needs right now? [/QUOTE]
