Hi Kim

Good Luck on your test today

My 18 yr old freaked out that I was able to read an entire book(about 1" thick) in 2 hrs Homework Mom??? Thanks for the vote of confidence

They can be whatever they want to be. I think that is great he wants to be a Firefighter.

My DD wants to be a singer. Than we went to a petting zoo and now she wants to be a petting zoo owner.

Well, she can be a petting zoo owner that sings on the weekends!

I agree that they can be whatever they want. That's what we've always told all our kids. As long as they want to be something. I don't want them just wandering through life. I don't care if they go to college as long as they have a career in mind. Only thing I do hope is that they don't follow in DH's footsteps. He's in law enforcement. Too dangerous. I don't want to watch my kids do that too. DD actually did consider it.

As far as DS wanting to be a firefighter, with DH and I both on the department we will probably be able to get him on as a junior firefighter in a year or two, even with his Down Syndrome. There's lots he can do without having to go into the buildings!

They just don't understand that life and learning don't end just 'cause we're out of high school or college! My DD couldn't believe that I went back to college when she was a junior in HS. "Mom, are you kidding...aren't you too old to learn new stuff???" Gee, thanks for that vote of confidence!

Hah another speed reader huh??

really makes my DH shake his head how fast I read things

I know what you mean Kathy-my 18 yr old has no vision/direction for his future-he is considering the Military,and is the only one of mine that I feel this would be a good choice for(good enough for DH and I) so we'll see-just have to get him to graduate 1st (Oh and thanks for wishing me luck on my test too)

 

[ckckc2000]

Yep-learned speed reading in the 5th grade and have been able to use it ever since!!! Well i'll be right back need to drop off DS

I am sure he would be so happy just to help out and be in the building. That is just GREAT!!

 

[kaylajr]

Well I won't be around much today
Have to work from 9:30 to 5:30 and than stuff with the kids

 

[Mom2Ashli]

My DD didn't decide what she wanted to do until her second year of college other than knowing she wanted to do "something" or be something 'cause she knew she wanted to make a lot of money! That's very important to her.

DS 13 has no idea what he wants to do but says that he does want to go to college and wants a four-year degree. He's got a two-year scholarship already to the local community college so he is already saying that he wants to go there for 2 years and then transfer to Appalachian State, close to home so he can still live at home.

That's true

[ckckc2000]
