| PEEGE his 4 year effort certainly has been rewarded and paid off - quite well as a matter of fact - maybe not in the direction he wanted - or thinks he wanted - but there are those out there - with good credentials - who did not do nearly as well as your son has - especially $$$ wise.
His immaturity is winning out - and he is just at the beginning of his college career - there is much out there for him to pursue - and could be even bigger and better than if he had gone to a ''better school - ie - 'ivy''' - and financially - he has done better than most 'ivy' students...................... maybe he really needs to give this a chance and count his blessings for a while before he makes any definite decision regarding the negatives of his college experience.
He does have the choice to re-apply and transfer - and I hope he understands the consequences that can occur in the event. But........ if he can get himself over this hump - he may realize what is really out there - and all the benefits that his 'back-up' school can provide him.
I am sure you as the parent have concerns about where his head is at - and hopefully his situation is one that benefit you - especially financially - because that will have to be taken into consideration should he decide not to take advantage of this opportunity.
As far as his 'work ethic being gone' - well maybe he needs to be told to grow up just a bit in that respect - that mindset will make or brake this situation for himself - and if he brakes it - well - only he can be responsible and held accountable for making that happen - not you.
He has choices - and hopefully he can really look at this from all sides and make a good choice - if he feels like he was served lemons - well he either make lemonaide - or he can throw them away - his choice. |
