Leaving the Nest

We took Garret to Wyotech on March 31 and he was so excited. He never expected to go away to school since he hated it sooo much. School had always created great strife between Garret and I since he was so apathetic towards it. He is smart and can learn anything when he is interested, but most of high school was pure drudgery for him. It tore me up how he just didn't care -when I knew he had so much potential.

If it hadn't been for the alternate schooling program our school district offers he probably would never have graduated. The whole social dynamic, popularity, cliches, - Garret found repulsive. With Wyotech being an automotive repair school the female presence is sparse, so I hope the culture is nothing like high school.

All I can say is i'm proud that my son is finally using his potential. I know he will do well and hope he makes friends.
