Well, for 6 days I could say I had only 2 kids in college, but my oldest son who graduated with his BS in chemistry found out yesterday that he has been accepted into a Doctorate program in Medicinal Biochemistry. I have never seen a kid (he's 24), so excited about finding out he will be in school for another 4 years! Of course, he is still hoping to hear from the National Institute of Health, but he is very happy to know that he has this as an option. He is so excited about being almost full-time in a lab setting and out of most classrooms.
It's funny. We had some testing done when he was about 9 and the tester told us that he expected him to go into this field and be successful in his studies. After several turbulent high school years and still a lot of growing up in college, I really think he has begun to " mature". At least I hope this course of study will keep him so busy, trouble won't be able to find him!
Of course, my daughter will take the GRE next fall (her senior year at Belmont Abbey) and start deciding whether to go on in school or work for a year. But she is pretty level-headed and will do well either way. Now if I can just get the 18 year old to study like his sister, not go to every single sports event at UNCC, and get him through the next 3 years of math, science, and engineering courses. Oh, these boys . . . and Michael is only 5, but growing up so fast . . . How much I appreciate the babies I use to get up with in the middle of the night and rock.
I thank God for all the blessings He has sent to my family and pray to all the saints in heaven to help us to see His path and keep us on it!
Deo Gratias!
