I Need Your Ideas

I’m writing today about needing your ideas.  My son who is a junior in high school has been home sick since December. While he is getting better he still has a little ways to go.  We have full confidence that he will be better this spring. The problem is successfully finishing his junior year and continue to be a viable prospect for one of the big schools.  His first choice is University of Michigan.

I wrote about this today on Change My Life Journal.  Here is what I shared there.  If you have any ideas please feel free to leave a comment or email me.  Fastest way to email is on the top right corner of this blog there is a row of icons.  The last one on the right is an envelope. Click that an it will open an email to me.  Thank you!

Today I’m asking you for your help.  I need some creative ideas to solve a difficult situation.

As I’ve mentioned here before my soccer star son is sick.  He’s been home from school since December and missed a whole trimester of high school.  He did go back for the first time for a couple of days last week but he was not on any medicine.  This week the pulsing (on and off) of meds began again and he’s wiped out and can’t go.

He’s a junior in high school and goes to an amazing school.  They are very helpful and basically any way we come up with to help him finish his junior year successfully they will do.

He currently has 3 AP (advanced placement) classes, Calculus, Chemistry and Literature.  The first plan was for him to drop Calc and finish up Chem and Lit before the May 2nd  AP exam.  See there is no getting around that exam since it’s not run by the school.  You have to fulfill the requirements as they have set forth in their time frame.  The reason you take AP classes is to demonstrate that you one are smart enough to, and two that you have taken the hardest schedule possible.  This is what the big schools are looking for.  Soccer star really wants to go to the University of Michigan.  He spent time on the campus and with the professors and just fell in love with the school.

So now that we now he can’t catch up on all of the AP class work he missed and keep up with the current AP class work in order to be ready to take the exam on May 2nd, we are looking for other ideas to help him finish his junior year and be a viable candidate for the big schools.

This is where you come in.  I always think two heads are better than one and four heads are better than two and eight heads are better than four and so on and so on.

With todays technology and advanced learning possibilities, we’re trying to help soccer star have the rest of this month to heal and maybe do a little work on the other classes he’s taking and come up with a plan so he can finish his junior year before his senior year begins.

If you have any ideas, suggestions, places we should look into, know the inside minds of big school admissions and have suggestions from their perspectives or anything you think might help us help him, please share it with me.  If you want to email me off line and not leave a comment please send it to diane at thewholegang dot org.

If you don’t have any ideas but want to help, please forward this to others that you think might have a suggestion.

I really believe that with the world today and all of the smart people out there that we can figure something out that will work.  Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and consider it.
