Now about my 16 yods.  Saturday, before he got sick, we attended an orientation at the Houston Zoo.  He will be volunteering about 144 hours this summer working with the birds.  Even though this is his first year being accepted as a volunteer, they gave him second year privileges.  I don't know why they did that.  I'm hoping it was because of his application, interview, and reference letter but at the same time, I think they needed someone to work in the bird area.

I am so proud of him and I pray that he will be able to use this experience to get a scholarship to a university where he can get a degree in an animal field.

I'm planning on putting him in dual credit for his 11th grade year but am struggling about putting together a transcript.  I just started teaching him how to drive and I think that's going to have to be put on hold for a few days while I recover from surgery.  Either that or dad is going to take over that task.

If anyone has suggestions or comments on what they've done with dual credit or work experience/transcripts, please let me know.

I stumbled upon your blog and wanted to let you know that I said a prayer for you. Also, that is wonderful about your son. My boys are still young but would love to work with birds like that.
God Bless
