We found out yesterday afternoon that Wm got into the STEM school!!!! He is sooo happy! What a relief. Whew!! The STEM school is middle and high school, so now we are done worrying about school until he's off to college. Even then, it shouldn't be a big deal! The STEM school is partnered with OSU, so most students have 1-2 years of OSU coursework done by the time they finish high school (for free!) So, Wm should be able to start at OSU having already been to OSU! (And, of course, if he wants to go someplace else, he can transfer those hours wherever he wants to go. But, since I get a really significant tuition discount as OSU, he'll also have to find a way to pay for it if he doesn't go to OSU!)
Wm has a friend who also got in, but it is not his first choice. The STEM school has no sports of any kind and his friend is pretty sporty. For Wm, no sports is just a major plus. Someone asked me yesterday what sports Wm plays and I said, "violin." HA! But, I asked Wm if he was nervous about going to a school where he likely won't know anyone at all and making all new friends. He goes, "No - I think it's exciting!" Wm is already plotting because all students who go to this school get a laptop. He is pumped. We have to go to some meeting in late March where we get a bunch of info and officially accept his admission. This is yuge!!!
Yesterday was also a big day because I scored us really good seats for Cirque Du Soleil and Wm locked down his little amigo to come with. So...it's ON! A great day for The William!
