In Charlie News

[charliesmum]

Charlie's wanted to go to Montgomery County Community College since he found out he can learn how to develop video games there. It also makes sense from a financial/social standpoint - because of his Autism, he's slightly behind in his social skills, and he's young anyway - he'll not even be 18 until September, and he said he didn't want to go away to school. This way he can get some courses under his belt and in 2 years transfer to a 4 year college.

Today Charlie received his official 'acceptance' letter from MonCo. He was really excited.

I cried a little.

That is fantastic! And fantastic for the bottom line, because doing the first two at a community college is sooooo much cheaper. Usually. Also, if you have good grades. Transfer scholarships are out there, I got offered some, and IMHO it's easier to navigate than getting one as a freshman in a four year place.
