Hello,

I’m a father of 4, with my 2nd child in his Junior Year. The 2 year college “gauntlet” is beginning again now with my son. My wife turned the “college thing” over to me. I have the distinct pleasure of having a college freshman, high school Junior, 8th grader, and 5th grader!

I ended up using this site often when my oldest child was taking the ACT/SAT and doing her applications. She decided on SMU, after getting a nice scholarship.

We live in Georgia, in the Atlanta metro area.

Look forward to meeting others and helping if I can.

Thanks!

Brian

Welcome! Another Texan (and SMU grad) here! My S is a junior in College now. What is your HS Junior interested in?

Well we are VA but my brother lives in the Atlanta area :slight_smile: Here in the Cafe you can discuss anything. You can even hang around. A long time after the kids are done. My last, DD, graduated grad school 3 years ago. But here I am in several non-school related discussions.

So true @abasket !

@momocarly - he’s a budding entrepreneur, so I will assume business. But like all things with teenagers, this will change.

@Singersmom07 - congrats on getting them all through to the other side!
