For my kids education

<p>Peace be with you,</p>

<p>I am a father of two, Noah 3 years & Matthew 4 months; I attended NOVA community college in Alexandria, VA for a semester when I was 23. I am 41 years of age and working for a lobbying org. As a parent I want the best for my sons, and I hope that one day they can attend DUKE University.</p>

<p>I am hearing that it’s a very difficult school to get in to. On that note, what should I do to prepare my children academically in order for them to qualify for DUKE? Well that’s if they want to go there in the first place, :)</p>

<p>Any advice is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>God bless,
Luis</p>

<p>Finances - start saving.</p>

<p>Academics - Do nothing at that this point other than being a kind, supportive parent. Well, I guess it could not hurt to read a lot with them ;)</p>

<p>I can’t believe this isn’t a ■■■■■…same post…two forums. These kids are toddlers for heaven’s sake. Don’t worry about college for AT LEAST 10 years. In the meantime, find a really good early childhood forum.</p>
