Jamie called me today to tell me he passed all his entrance exams and will be starting college in January. This is such a huge step for him. He always said he would never go back to school.
I did have to laugh with him because when he went to take the first set of tests he went in blind. Oh they gave him a book to study from since he has been out of school so long but he figured he was now experienced in writing and that he could do basic math just fine, well no problem right? Wrong! He passed the English portion of the test with flying colors but when he started on the math..well, there was a problem. He said he held his hand up and told the teacher that there must be something wrong because there were letters mixed in with his number...lmao. He always was the class clown. So he had a week to study and go back and retake the tests...he had to pass 5 parts and he did it! He is so proud of himself.
Its going to be hard on him to do online school plus work a full time job PLUS be a dad. His job isnt just a 40 hour week either. Sometimes he is on call for days at a time. I just hope his wife wont throw a fit when he isnt able to just be at his beck and call anymore. When he is home he will need to study and do school work on the computer. You cant do that plus take care of kids after working all day. Well you can but he shouldnt have to when she doesnt work.
Im pretty happy.
