There are parents who have been congratulated on having sport oriented sons, they are treated as a special person, and so it was with Adrian's father. His oldest son was a football hero, won a football scholarship, I'm sure his dad got a lot of attention for being the father of a talented son, then along came Adriam, smart but that didn't count in his father's eyes. None of his friends patted him on the back for having a smart son.

I thought this story was finished. GLAD I was wrong.

“I feel fortunate that we were able to find a job where we both will work. I didn’t mind working at the supermarket, but the hours wouldn’t leave me any time to prep for the next course. I think we’ll make more money at the cafe with tips and everything.” “And don’t forget we get free coffee.” “It was nice that your grandparents were willing for you to stay instead of going home.” “Do you think we’ll be roommates when the fall semester begins?” “I’d hope so, I’m use to you snorin

When I was working in New York, his daughter was working there as well. I got to know her but not her dad.

Yes, they have a lot in common.
-
Yes they have confirmed their relationship. I'm, glad for them, in a way they have a shared background, problems with the rents, as they say.

Are you a Pei devotee

You are welcome. I think most people who had the fortunate opportunity to continue their education have stories to tell.

graduated in 1959 with a degree in Chemical Engineering. You?

We lived in different worlds, classes in the morning and work in the afternoon. I don't miss school but I do wish I continued to obtain my Master's.

Was it school or the friends you had while you were in school? You are never too old to go back to school. Maybe we both could go😃

The famous blue book.I agree with you.

“The first day of summer school was very exciting for me. I read the first chapter in our textbook so I could concentrate on the lecture, which I didn’t realize that the professor covers more than the first chapter at each session in a summer course. By the end of the 3 hours, my hand was sore, taking notes. I looked at Paul, and he was busy with his head down, writing like crazy. “Paul, want to go and get some lunch?” He agreed, and we went to check out the school’s cafeteria. The food

There are these "righteous" believers who take the Bible literally and add to it, bias's, prejudices' s, and arrogance. The people how go there, go to get their prejudices praised. A sad comment on a ridiculous attitude. They form a "church" outside of the normal path.

I'm not sure he will learn what he has missed. Sometimes people become so hard set in their views, nothing will change.

There are some fathers that will never admit they made a mistake, and there are farthers that realized the mistake they have made and seek peace with their son. I wonder which category Adrian's father will fall into.

I was excited as I arrived at school. Registration was easy, paying the fees weren’t as easy. While I was waiting in line to get a dorm assignment, someone tapped me on the shoulder. “Are you also waiting to get a dorm assignment?” “Yes, one of the guys said that there were only so many available. Something about cleaning and spraying for insects would reduce the number of available dorms. I’m hoping they’ll have one for me. If they don’t, I may have to pitch a tent.” “My name is Paul.”

Yes, his farther must have a huge ego
-
I think most parents, although they love their children, tend to admire a particular trait in their child, because of that,one of them is usually closer to that child, or so it seems. The old adage of boys being momma's boys and girls being daddy's girls, is based on behavioral observations.
-
There are men who give up on three children. They live to brag about the accomplishments of their children but the problem is, they only considered sports.
-
His father is a jock. Some fathers like top brag about their sons, particularly if they themselves played. I don't understand that mentality.
-
I hope you will like it.

“Tomorrow I’ll be 18, and then I can tell the world. I’ll be on my own. I’ll be my own master. Then after saying all that, I sat down on my bed; who was I kidding. There was no way that I’d be self-sufficient. I had no job, and I still was looking forward to going to college. I had a scholarship that paid 50 percent of my tuition. I had worked every summer and saved enough to pay for my books and dorm. I still needed to have the money to pay the other half of my school tuition. And the only reso
