My youngest son has successfully completed his first year of college. I have to admit that I was thinking it might be good for him to stay and take another class or two... but he wanted to come home for the summer and I am so glad he did. I missed that boy! It turns out he enjoyed being away at school... but not really school.
You see... he doesn't really like school. He's never been one who took satisfaction in studying or homework. In high school, he did what was required to get by... to graduate. My oldest daughter was very much the same way... until we found a school where she could do what she loved... perform. And she was able to sing, dance, and act... but there were also books... and she didn't seem to mind the books and studying when it was something that truly interested her. So I'm thinking we just need to find the interest for my son.
He's a very charismatic and charming young man. He is also strong and excellent with any kind of physical work. And he is smart... when... it is something he cares about. Ask him for sports statistics and he can give you them all, explain them all, memorize them all. During his year of college we tried him in a Communications class thinking maybe a sports reporter... which he liked, received a good grade, but ultimately said he liked it because the professor was great.
My son also wants to make money! Who doesn't right? We tried an introductory business school class... where he received a 'B' so I thought we were really on to something. He said it was somewhat interesting but not sure. It's a start right? We just need to find that interest.
