My students have all heard from their schools by now and are in their last few days of choosing where they’ll go to college next year. May 1 is National Decision Day. Deposits are due to ensure a spot in this fall’s freshman class.
So I’d like to take this opportunity to say congrats to all the students. You have all worked hard at school and extracurricular activities – from starting up your own businesses to running cross country to dancing to helping out at church to racing go-carts to playing music. Whew! I’m not sure when you all slept. Regardless of your future plans, you should all feel really proud of yourselves. You’re a great group of young adults!
