Proud and relieved Dad

Chatted with a man in the coffee shop who said his son just got an MBA at The Ohio State University--and a job! His daughter received a B.S. in Education (also from OSU) and has her first teaching job. His third child is a junior. He says it's very, very quiet at home.

Locks of love

The pretty college student and I were chatting about John Boehner (Speaker of the House) being the speaker at her graduation ceremony. Then I noticed her hair had been cut since the last time we spoke, so I asked about it. And she told me about Locks of Love. This is the second time she's grown out her hair for others. Quietly and beautifully doing something for others.

A degree in sociology

I met a lovely, raven haired, clear skin OSU student at the coffee shop. I asked her what she was studying, and she replied, Sociology, but had changed her major after an accident had put her out of sequence in her first choice and she could get the right classes. "What do you plan for a career with a degree in Sociology?" I asked. "I don't know," she said, "maybe a non-profit position." Shouldn't there be some career counseling by now before spending $60-$70,000 on a college degree?
