Isaac Goes to College

Well, he already has gone to college this year.  He took 3 classes at Clark State University and did well in all of them.  I am very proud of him as all three classes were writing intensive and he isn't a natural writer like his older sisters. But in the end, he did a great job.

Isaac is a super diligent student. He is not a procrastinator.  He just forges on ahead. Personalities differ and I adore my procrastinating children but I have to admit it is super awesome that he just does his thing without me prodding him.

This week, I came to the conclusion that if at all possible, Isaac needs to take a couple of courses at Wright State University this coming year.  I was originally intending that he take a full year of courses at Clark State and then transfer to Wright State in pursuit of, yes,  yes, yes, a Material Science degree!

(Gotta love Materials Science!!)

But...there are a couple of classes that he should take this year at Wright State that aren't offered at Clark State.  If he doesn't take them now, it'll put him behind.

So we are working on getting him accepted to Wright State.  He hasn't taken the ACT or SAT so he needs to take Wright State entrance exams.  These are different than the Clark State entrance exams. Of course. (They are standardized tests, but they aren't the SAME standardized tests.)

Isaac also needs to take the math entrance exam again at Clark State in the hopes of doing well enough to take Calculus 1 in the fall.  He's been working really hard on pre calc. We'll see.

So there is a lot going on and various deadlines to meet, so I feel a little stressed.
