A week ago I gave #1 a challenge. If he were to finish his homeschooling class by last Sunday, I would let him take a second college class this term.
He knocked it out of the ballpark and is now taking Introduction to Mass Media in addition to his English 101 class. Both classes are Monday through Friday, one from 10:00 – 10:50 and the other 11:00 – 11:50. He has a bus pass, his books, and stars in his eyes at being a college student 5 months before the rest of his graduating class.
He read the first chapter in the books for his classes Sunday night, and as a result Monday he came home with no homework.
I kid-you-not, he was actually strutting when he got home.
He continues to do well at his job, enjoying getting paid for playing with puppies.
Now if I can get #2 on a faster path than he is on now…
