Well the time is drawing near for my oldest child to graduate from college. She currently lives with her dad in Milwaukee and goes to the school of the arts.
Timeka is my daring one the one that is really the most selfish of all of my children. I'm not sure how she got like that since she has had the benefit of both me and her dad all her life but she is really focused on herself more than anyone.
Now I will say that she is making an effort to clear that up which I hope that she gets better with in time.
We chat daily by instant message thats why I bought the litte web cam so that she could see us on a regular basis. I mean literally sometimes over a 24 hour period its just like she is here with us since she chats with us all the time. So the webcam was a must I thought.
We recently literally since last year I have been chatting with and talking with her about colleges and where she should go when she graduates. The poor thing does not have a clue and no matter how much I try to help her she is still not sure.
I tell her to focus one hour per day on school searches and financial aid but when I ask her about it she is not sure if she did things right. So we have started working on her ACT which she got back. Then she is college hunting by spending weekends on campuses.
I have told her about Henderson State here in Arkansas. Or UALR in Little Rock where her cousin Swan will go the same year.
She will coming down for Christmas and the New Year so during that time we will make a pilgrimage to the colleges which Im sure will be closed but I just want her to get a feel for them. Pick up some applications and work it.
Now she tells me she wants to take a year off and work. No nono........alright so what do I do?
This is where I stop because I don't know what else to do right now but I will keep you all posted cause she MUST graduate she MUST go to college.
