This way they will be able to relax over their summer vacation, and be well rested and ready to excell when school starts in the fall. Then they can get acedemic scholarships. I'm kind of thinking we should also look into an additional smaller boat so they could go for a waterski scholarship. The things we do for the children...
lol... I think that is what my parents did too. Expect all it really did for me is to convince me to buy my own boat instead of putting that money towards College.
Actually my parents had investments for me, but they decided not to take them out because the market is so much lower than what it was. So know my mom has actually gone back to work to pay for my tuition. So far I have not had to take out any student loans. I would help pay for it myself, but I don't even make enough to be able to support myself for the 6 months a year I am at school.
Scholarships are only available to Minorities and a select few who need a lot of financial assistance...
You have a great mother to do that for you ~ give her extra extra extra hugs and kisses for that!
