A Proud Pops
I’ve always admired my son’s moxie. Even though I’m the parent and he’s the kid, sometimes it feels like I learn more from him than he does from me. Part of it is his intelligence. He’s always been a bright kid. I was sorry that it looked like he wouldn’t be able to go to college, because I’m a single dad without a lot of money, his grades weren’t perfect in high school, and most scholarships don’t cover things like dorms and dining halls. He’s been living at home, working at his summer job, and taking courses toward an online bachelors degree. When he started explaining his plan to me, I got excited before I even knew what he was talking about. There was something familiar in his voice, something that said, “I can do anything.” Whenever he gets that attitude, he succeeds. I’ve had a lot of disappointments and failures in my life, which is partly why it’s so wonderful to see him tackle the tough parts of life and come up on top. I know he has the brains and drive and charisma to go far, and now not having a degree won’t hold him back. My only contribution was to convince him to go for the BA instead of his original plan, business administration associate degree online. It’s working out so well that I’m even thinking about going for an associate degree online. I couldn’t be prouder.
