<p>Thanks so much. </p>
<p>My child says that two of these guys should be Div 1 material. I also need to understand that process as well. I realize that in the end it is the college’s choice, but because these boys have so little, I would like to make sure that they end up in programs that will watch out for them. </p>
<p>I forgot about Questbridge and, I think, for at least one that is an option. No art majors in this group. </p>
<p>Community college might not be a bad choice either. I am pleased to know that vocational programs, and yes we will avoid the for profit ones, are an option as well. One young man is interested in Culinary Arts. </p>
<p>Some of these guys are working (very little as they are athletes) but I think that money is so insignificant just based on their current needs. </p>
<p>I do know, for the ones that don’t play ball in college, that they are capable and willing to work and will have to.</p>
<p>Again, I really appreciate the tremendous resources you have given me.</p>
<p>The advice to keep records is awesome – I hadn’t thought about that. We have just a horrible counseling department at our high school. For the past three years, I have spent energy complaining about this – now I am moving on. Rather than fight to change something that I obviously can’t, I am going to do my small part to make sure that the kids that lose the most (I believe) because of the poor quality of the counseling department have a slimmer of hope. (The school is very diverse – the families like ours can either afford private counselors or just guide their children themselves. As parents, we support each other and share information, etc. But many of us are concerned about the kids who will fall through the crack.)</p>
