Time really goes by quick. It seems like yesterday my daughter left for college. In 3 semesters she completed enough classes to be a junior when she goes back to Berry College in Georgia this January. She has made the Deans list for all 3 semesters with a 4.0. She is going for a phd in organic chemistry. She started out wanting to be a surgeon, but as a lot of people know ,you change your major as you discover what you like. I'm very proud of her and will miss her when she returns to school after break. Living the Dream | ||

Wow! Organic Chemistry is probably the hardest set of classes I took in college. Congratulations to her! ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

Great for you and her. I will never know the joy ,happiness and pride a parent experiance . For years I have envyed a sibling that has 3 boys, they did a great job of raising the boys ,always a reason to be overjoyed and proud of them. But my sibling said something the other day that made me think. The closest one is three hours away, then the next us five hours away and the third is a five our plane trip. He misses them dearly of late. They were great about coming to visit , until . . . . The covid. Bi monthly visits were the norm, in rotation. It's wearing on the both of them , deeply. Skyping and zooming . . . . Ain't the same. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

My daughter works very hard without having to push her. If anything we ask that she not be so hard on herself. Organic Chemistry is the hardest class she had taken and next semester she is taking it again. She has signed up for a 5 week course in France in May, but I don't think with Covid it will happen. Her professor will share teach the class with a French professor. She is driven, that's for sure. Living the Dream | |||

Congratulations! "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
