4 Year Plan Changing

I hate change, most times. I am one that wants a plan. Thus why I am searching everyday for a mode of transportation that does not take place for months. I just like to know everything is set and ready to go.

Today, my DS1 has made a decision to change his 4 Year College Plan. I think it is a wise choice, but I am shocked by the choice. The amazing thing is, since he settled on NIU, I waited to see a peace in him. The knowing where and what will be. It never came. In fact, he has been moody and irritable.

I thought the moodiness may be a result of all the changes in his life now. With the new job and graduation and college on the horizon.

Today, by the grace of an unseen hand, he has been freed from his burden. I'm shocked by how much this changed him. He told me that instead of heading for the 4 year University, he wanted to go to the local community college for a year.

For some reason, I believe this was hard for him to tell me. And it shouldn't have been. I am a firm believer in getting the first 2 years of gen eds at a more affordable cost. Although, I think it is important that each child chose their path. If it was my dollar, I would go this route though.

My son is back though. From where ever the burden was keeping him. He is for the first time in months, happy - almost giddy and excited about his choice.

I just hope it works out for him. I'm sure it will.
