Beginnings

Dear Patrick and Dan,

In just 12 short months you will be leaving for college. You will begin a wonderful adventure that will really be the start of your adult life, complete with perils and uncertainties of grown up life.

I know you will be ready, but I just can't resist giving you a couple of pieces of advice.






Beginnings-Chicago

Life in Technicolor

Ready or not, here we go. From here on in, a large majority of your conversations with adults will revolve around college. "Have you taken
the ACT?" "Any college visits?" "Have you thought about where you want to go?" "Major? Big or small? Deep South?" So many questions!
Your senior year is supposed to be fun! Concentrate on enjoying being in high school with your high school friends. Everyone is so impatient to start the next chapter in their life that they letting 'right now' slip away.
Get your work done.
Finish those essays.
Fill out those applications.

But, don't forget that you're not in college.....yet!
