in one week my son is off to college. Like every parent I am bursting with pride that my son is going to college and like every parent I am scraping money together to have enough for the next tuition check. I am worried about him. That he won't fit in, that he won't make friends, that he will fail all his classes, that he won"t like it. I am worried because he is my first born, my only son and I will not be there to protect him.
At the same time, I hope that he does take advantage of this experience to the fullest. I want him to go to school and appreciate life. Maybe not in the crazy dumb frat brother kind of way, but be a part of the college. I hope he joins clubs and has a part time job at the college. I hope he meets other students and talks about ideas from their different points of view. I hope he learns to cook so he does not starve or eat too much Top Ramen. I hope he participates in college, not just spectate so.
