I have discussed college with Xan since 3rd grade . . . 3rd grade!! He would tell me where he was going to school and I would tell him to concentrate on getting in to 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, 9th grade - STOP. Ninth grade took years off my life. I could not for the life of me get him to concentrate on 9th grade - getting in to 10th grade. No, Xan had to get his social status on. He had to establish himself at his new school. He nearly established himself twice as I doubted he would make it to 10th grade. He did and now he is in 11th and I just registered him for the SAT - for college applications - we are there. How did that happen, we are approaching college?? It seemed impossible to think we would ever approach college and now my baby boy is starting the process.
I don't know how to even wrap my head around all that lies ahead . . . tests, applications, the waiting, more applications, forms, anxiety - and that's just me! Nonetheless it's exciting to think of what lies ahead for him - or is it?
