Do any of my fellow Askvillers have any sons or daughters graduating from high school this year?

I just got home from my son's graduation ceremony. He will be heading to college this fall.My daughter will be starting her third year of college this fall also. I am very proud of both of them.

I also am having kind of bitter-sweet feelings. I have been looking forward to the day when my child support payments will end, which they will in a few more years. With both of them attending colleges quite a distance away though I won't be seeing them as often.

They have been spending half the week with me since they were 2 years and 4 years old. This will be a big change for me and makes me kind of sad but at the same time I feel like their mother and I must have done something right.

Congrats to your son... I am very happy for your son and you. Your children do make you proud. It is an achievement to reach and pass his final school year.To attend University (we don’t call them colleges) is another experience and probably more interesting for him.

It is a whole new world of study with more discipline on the individual than the institution to get things done. Your daughter must be in her last year(?) of her degree, I presume.It is a big personal change. You will suffer the empty nest syndrome for a while but just keep in touch as much as you can.

This just reminded me of my kids and their studies. Luckily my son could attend Uni close by and come home at night. After completing his degree and honors degree he received a scholarship for his Phd.

All this could be done at home and just required a few trips to the city. He is nearly 27 at still at home! He is nearly finished.

We will miss him when he leaves.My daughter had to live with my wife’s sister closer to the city. She came home for the weekends which was good. She has completed two degrees (Arts and Science) and is doing her honors in psychology looking at Huntington’s Decease.

She recently got married to a young naval officer who has just gone to sea so at least we can visit her as she is not far away. So it is all ahead of you. Education is so important these days.

Just wait till they graduate from Uni, that’s a real buzz. You have done a lot right! Sources: My Experiences..

My younger daughter is also heading off to university this fall .. It's over the hill from the community college, and it's the same one I got my almost useless M.A.From. But my daughter is being more successful at her choice of career than her dad ever was, so I'm proud of her already.

1 I have empty nest syndrome....My son is in the Marines now 3 years and will go to Japan soon. My other son still lives in my town and just finished college, but I only see him once a week and he moved out of my house 3 years ago. To be alone with my cats is hard.

Life is not meant to be alone. I hope you can volunteer or do something to be around kids so you feel needed and get unconditional love.

Poppet! Said: 2 Congrats on being a successful dad, Yankeeman! Yes, you must have done something right, as it sounds like your son is on the right track!

My daughter lives and works a long way away from home, but we keep in almost constant contact through the internet and our cellphones, so sometimes it just seems like she's working right here in town! I hope your son will do something similar--email is free in college, and he can send photos, too! It won't be so bad, you will see!

Askvillers, let's encourage kids to use their own mind. Not too much help with homework questions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
