Daughter accepted to University of Michigan

[RBeckman]

My Daughter Haley just got a email that she has been accepted to the University of Michigan for the fall semester 2012. Anyone want to buy a Camaro, Chevelle, English Bulldog, Lift, engine hoist, wife's shoe collection and my collection of Jegs and Summit stickers?

It will take at least that to get her through college. It cost me over 50k to get my daughter through nursing school. Of course she went to a private college.

Congratulations Ric. You have to be so proud ! Now you have to have her spend some time on the computer and find every single scholarship available. Figure out what your heritage is, there are a lot of scholarships based on ethnicity. Such an exciting time for you. GO BLUE !

It will take at least that to get her through college. It cost me over 50k to get my daughter through nursing school. Of course she went to a private college. My middle son went to priviate school as well for Film (Columbia College in Chicago) and he came out with some student loans as well that he will be paying off for the next 20 years. I helped, but since he did not want to go to public school he had to pick up a good share of it.

My oldest start community College for a year then quit, now 2 years ago he decided to go back (He's 26 now and living in California) and he is getting finacial aid since he was layed off (selling Motorcycles) and they did not have to use our income. He just finished his Associates and now going for his bacholers with some help from us and his wonderful future wife. He is looking for some work as well but California is still in pretty bad shape in the job front.

She has some scholarships lined up so that will help, the school is helping a lot with those. Big problem though is that her Mom and I are MICHIGAN STATE Go Green. We have a better football team. ha

How much for the Camaro? And the lift.

Tony, I really could not sell the Camaro to you knowing that the clock does not work...it just would not be right and I could not sleep at night...ha

In all honestly the cars would be the last thing to go, I'd empty my 401K first as the cars will hold thier value better. Thank god this is the last one and can't wait till we are done with this expense.....when she is done, I want a place down south in Alabama or Florida.

The JEGS and Summit sticker collection are for sale for a good price though.

[FlintTony]

Make if Florida and we can be neighbors!

[flash]

Congrats and how much for the sticker collection and the non working clock in the Camaro?

Congratulations Ric. Even if it's not MSU, aside from the football team I hear it's a pretty good school. :)
Susan went to Madonna University for nursing. Didn't have any debt, but now that she is going to USC for nurse anesthetist she's going to have some huge debt. Henry got his degree from U of M, masters from Phoenix. Still paying off the debt for the masters, which sure hasn't helped him get a job.

What kind of degree is she going for?

Congratulations to your daughter now if it was UT then it would really be something to be proud of. Lol
For real what an honor you must feel as parents it proves you have done something right. :thumbs:

Where at in Florida is your place?
Congrats and how much for the sticker collection and the non working clock in the Camaro? Flash, the sticker collection should be in musuem somewhere and I have it insured with Lloyds of London so make me a offer.

What kind of degree is she going for? I agree on no MSU, but it's a Michigan degree which is know world wide. She wants to be a Forensic Biologest (what ever that is).

UGA = Warmer temps during winter and close to Florida.

Plus my little brother lives in Canton so she would be close to family for the weekends and Holidays.

[flash]

Where in Canton does he live ? We might be neighbors and not even know it.

He lives on Cedar Woods Trl which is right off Knox Bridge Hwy and Marietta hwy.

Congratulations! My wife went there and received her bachelors and masters degrees in education. It took a while to pay off the loans, but it sure was worth it.

[Ms Grumpy]

So I was just wondering how your family is going to get along once she starts at U of M ? I have heard of marriages breaking up over school rivalries, but how does that work with parents and kids ? Good Luck..lol
