.) Every day that's the first thing he asks me-Any letters?(or e-mails) It's motivated him to write even more-told him that's fine but he's still got to do his homework too! Well, sorry this is so long but I just wanted to thank everyone for the advice-I don't know what will come of all of this but for right now, it's a blast! Thanks again!
I posted a couple of weeks ago about the apparent lack of interest in my son and was given advice to be more pro-active. I told my son it was time to get busy and start writing those letters. WoW! He picked out alot of colleges (more than I thought he'd really spend the time getting around to contacting-but he did them all)and started his letters-he actually had a ball once he got going-looking at the websites, rosters,etc. He picked some schools that I knew were really longshots for him (Ivy League!) but he said he just wanted to see if they might respond. This past week he's gotten 7 responses back-yes, they're questionaires, form letters, etc.-but he is so excited to get them. A few have been more personal than others and two were from those "longshots" (he's a very good student but Ivy League? I don't see it .)
