tell him to get good grades and a scholarship.

actually, encourage him to learn a trade. it's not just doctors we'll be lacking in, but electricians, plumbers, hvac techs, and auto mechanics.

I love your suggestion. I would be proud if he was going there. I don't think a service academy would take a person who was born with a mild form of Cerebral Palsy. My wife and I are fortunate and blessed that he just has a mild form of it. Today you can't tell he was born with this dreadful disease that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I guess there is a risk of that when you are 14 ounces at birth. At least there are great institutions like the Shriners to help innocent and unfortunate children born with that dreadful disease.

Just for your info he has been with me since he was five and graduated #2 in his class. I must not be that bad of a parent. Contrary to what you believe. What are your children doing if you dont mind telling.

You obviously did something right. You are sure a paradox. By your posting you seem to have duel personalities a reincarnation of Hitler and Mother Teresa.. You are one complex person Nascar.

That's awesome! You must be very proud. If he applies to a particular school early, he should get offers for financial help.
