College Prep with Friends
My son, Taft has enjoyed a remarkable friendship with a group of 4 other kids (now adults) throughout his middle and high school years. There were many study groups, school events, birthday parties, movie nights and late night/early morning meet-ups at Sherry’s for pie shakes.
Each of these people are now attending a different institution of higher learning 😊 so when they all returned home last fall I gathered them into one room to chat—with a microphone!
I told them I have a lot of moms who listen to my podcast and that they would be my panel of expert college freshmen. I asked them what they did in High School that prepared them well, what about college has been exactly as they imagined and what has surprised them. I asked them what they miss most about their former life and what they absolutely love about now. And finally, I asked them to share some advice for those headed into the world of adulting!
I think you’ll enjoy this conversation with …
Shawn, attending Georgetown University
Casey, attending Gonzaga University
Taft, attending Brigham Young University
Kali enrolled at Whitman College and
Keandra, who is taking classes at Spokane Community College.
After I recorded our conversation—as I was driving home, I decided that our world and its future are in good hands!
Speaking of FRIENDS and learning, I am having a BLAST teaching 20in20 and I’m so impressed with the community that is growing there.
Here are just 3 reasons people have signed up for this class!
B/c before my daughter was born (5.5 years ago) I used to scrapbook all the time and I MISS IT SO MUCH. I need help figuring out a way to: make the time and when I do make the time, get right to the heart of pictures, words, fun paper.
I love the ideas you have and your thought process and I want to make things and not collect supplies. It made me so excited to think about the concept of 20 finished projects!
I signed up primarily for 2 reasons: 1) Stacy! I love her classes and philosophies and have found I can apply what I learn from her to all areas of my life. 2) I haven’t scrapbooked in a couple of years and am eager to resume, especially since my hubby & I will become empty nesters in the fall. After years of life being all about the kids, it’s time to reconnect with my hobbies, my spouse, and others. It’s definitely a season of changing relationships for me!
