Daughter accepted to University of Michigan

[Ms Grumpy]

Congratulations Ric. You have to be so proud ! Now you have to have her spend some time on the computer and find every single scholarship available. Figure out what your heritage is, there are a lot of scholarships based on ethnicity. Such an exciting time for you. GO BLUE !

My middle son went to priviate school as well for Film (Columbia College in Chicago) and he came out with some student loans as well that he will be paying off for the next 20 years. I helped, but since he did not want to go to public school he had to pick up a good share of it.

My oldest start community College for a year then quit, now 2 years ago he decided to go back (He's 26 now and living in California) and he is getting finacial aid since he was layed off (selling Motorcycles) and they did not have to use our income. He just finished his Associates and now going for his bacholers with some help from us and his wonderful future wife. He is looking for some work as well but California is still in pretty bad shape in the job front.
