This kid! He’s still asking me to look into Egyptian universities. “Can you send me the essay topics so I can start working on my application?” Time for a serious conversation.
It was his dad who suggested he start college this fall. I was thinking of our small, local university, which is where his older brother is going and actually likes well. It’s just too big a rush to make a life-changing decision like this in the next few weeks. I’m going to encourage him to get a year of college in Maine. That will give him (and us) time to make a wise decision.
I had already looked up State Department warnings. I’m not thrilled that he’s in Lebanon right now. But as I said earlier, he paid for the trip himself and is with a group that has a lot of experience in the country, so I’m living with it.
