He said he grew up in the woods....He want to go to college...and take a course....he said it is his money and he is going to go and then get a Job with the National Parks....he said it is a 4 year course...and he already knows more than most of the teachers cause he grew up on the mountains.... Well...This is a man who will look at the dishes in the sink..walk around the table..come back to the sink...walk around the table...and repeat....he hates cutting grass and pulling weeds..I do it all.....He will prob want to either take over the class...or fall asleep....but I guess at any age it is nice to have a dream......I am wondering..what to do about this...HE does not even like to go in the woods for chiggers and ticks...LOL
I'm not so sure about indulging him in the actual activity. It would be blow to his ego to find out he is not regarded as knowing more than the instructors and a big disappointment to find out college classes are a lot of work.
I suspect the fantasy is more appealing than the reality would be.
The forms will be a test and the prices will definitely shock. If he can clear those hurdles AND he gets accepted, you may have a freshman on your hands. Maybe he can move into the dorms and visit on holidays!!
No sense in YOU killing his dream. At least he has an interest in something.
