Homeschool Day 8/31 and College Kids Update

 College Kids Update:

Kid #1 was invited to apply at the college as an adjunct professor.  I don't know if she will get it though.

Kid #2 is going to be an ICU nurse.  He's now considered a nurse extern, is passing his NCLEX practice tests, graduates in December and has a verbal offer from the hospital ICU.

Kid #3 graduates in December and is working on her BFA Exhibition at the university (she's a fine arts major).  She is rounding up recommendation letters to apply for graduate school.  She still has a 4.0, so I'm assuming that's graduating Summa cum Laude if she keeps it this last semester.

Kid #4 is changing her major to Kinesiology.  She is also thinking of adding a teaching certification to it, so she can teach in school.  She also still has a 4.0.
