Freshman son was home for winter term and he took one on-line class to reduce his spring load. I watched him taking care of his business with school/gym/cage for 5 weeks. He is a much more mature person than the high school kid who left home in August. My wife and I were both so happy to see how much he is learning, and being exposed to new ideas. Talk about "life changing". I don't envy those who have to choose between college and the draft. A person would be blessed to have those kinds of options, but a difficult decision for many in that position.
