I just went thru this with my daughter Sam that you met in Oklahoma. She was sucsessful in the apeal and will return to college this Fall. We also found out about a program that she will have to interveiw for, as they only take a limited number of students. You must have one of the following: A disability, Have lived or living in poverty, or a first generation college student. When accepted, she will have a new network of supportive people to help her be supported at her community college level, and help her in the progress of transferring to a four year college. They offer additional tutoring, workshops for test taking, studying and ect.. They also have trips to other college campuses to tour. We are hopeful that she will do well in her interveiw and be accepted. This is called Student Support Services, and at our school it is limited to 125 students. It might be something of interest to your son. Anyway, good luck!<br />Gerri from Oklahomagerrinrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08509303716996054462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-23457713779466667912011-07-06T15:18:00.650-05:002011-07-06T15:18:00.650-05:00Way to go! So glad Jimmy and Rand have your help....Way to go! So glad Jimmy and Rand have your help...and the rest of your kids. Remind Jimmy who first taught him the English word "careful". It was Gus, as Jimmy "helped" him repair windows at the orphanage. Gus must have needed to repeat it enough to Jimmy, as he wielded a hammer nearby...most probably right under Gus' elbow. Can't you just picture it? And the wildest "kid party" I ever had was at the Radisson with Jimmy, Cecelia, Rosalba, and our Mitch. Also turned into the longest two hours of my life, trying to keep my eyes on all those busy young people. I had been so thrilled to see Haydee exit the van, followed by each of those kids. I was equally as thrilled to see her return in two hours!<br /><br />Congrats to Jimmy on his graduation and his awesome new job. And best wishes to Rand on pursuing a degree. And congrats to you Mom.<br /><br />Nancy in Iowanancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720934283334146499noreply@blogger.com
