Light at the End of the Tunnel

Yes, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and no, it's not a train! It's graduation for Aaron!!!!!

Aaron has taken the long and winding road to higher education.  He spent 4 years at Georgia College in Milledgeville, but no degree.  Being away for four years was good in some ways, and definitely a learning experience for the parents. When your child is away at school, you pray more than ever! You have to trust that your child will make Godly decisions, have Godly friends, and that he will pursue excellence in his educational choices.  Well, you can't have everything!  Aaron left Milledgeville, and came home to make up lost ground at the community college.

This past fall he enrolled at Kennesaw State University, majoring in geography.  He commutes two days a week, works at Olive Garden and referee's soccer.  The question is always, "when do you think you will graduate?"  His response has always been nebulous, but maybe in one or two more semesters.  Any time I asked him, he would say he had 20 - 30 more hours to take. Well, he met with his advisor today and he texted "I will graduate next semester".  He has 12 hours after this semester, and should graduate in December 2012.  Hallelujah!!!!

Stay tuned for the answer to the next question - what will he do once he graduates?  For now, we are rejoicing over the news that graduation is in sight!!!!
