Kids going off to college

Thanks everyone for the comments - definitely appreciated.  I will say the whole parental experience with all 3 of our children has been a real "faith walk" for my wife and me.  Nothing is ever guaranteed, and I personally never cared what my kids ended up doing as long as they were honest, hardworking, happy with what they chose to pursue, and treated people with respect and dignity.   

Good luck to all of you whose kids leaving nest!
Trust me you’ll hear from them, frosh year moving them into dorms on hot September days. Taking them to Wally to score needed items, putting everything from tv stands to clothes racks together, buying meals. Course I had daughters, maybe boys more skilled. 
One went to Stout, one to UWM. Be careful at those state schools -every prof there is diehard democrat. Luckily my daughter from Stout went off to Charleston SC to become Fox tv producer. More of a republican than most! Sadly other child never wavered from the brainwashing she received, we still can tolerate one another, but only a couple of days.. haha She is however a great success, has several jobs she does from home, and at 27 makes more than I ever did. Squirrels it away too, so I can spend her inheritance…I put in plenty of $$$ to get the two thru four years each, it delayed both my & wife's retirements. But we wouldn’t change it cause our Wisconsin schools gave em both education that transformed into great employment. Although pollically ruined one haha 

Congratulations SM!
Both you and your daughter have something to be very proud of. That’s a huge accomplishment for you and her. The best of luck to her!

   As a fellow parent I’m proud of you and for you!

PS- I accidentally liked my own post.

Congrats to both you,& your wife SM.

Most of all, congratulations to your daughter!

Super great news!!

Love it!  That's awesome SM!  Congrats!

You're a huge part of that, you're such a good Dad! 

After graduating from Med School and a year conducting research, my oldest daughter landed her 1st choice program as an Orthopedic Surgery resident.  Way to go kiddo.   What a long haul.  4 years college, 4 years Med School, 5 years residency, 1 year fellowship...then practice.

Proud dad moment. Went out to Ithaca New York late Thursday for Daughters Graduation. She received a Merrill award, top 1 percent of her class?. Her High School teacher drove all the way out there last Monday . Not really sure what the actual award is but she chose a Teacher and a Professor that have helped her succeed in school. 4.06 gpa and 0 dept. Starting work in Chicago middle of June. Anyone know of anyone renting out anything on the north side of Chicago let me know lol. She has a place until she finds something. Had to fly back with my Son late Sunday night out of Syracuse so he could march in the Memorial Day parade for the last time. He's off to FIT, "Florida Institute of Technology", in August. Was really hoping he would be closer, but not a lot of college's have what he wants to study.
