This last weekend I attended my first graduation of grand kids. It was held at Harker Heights HS outside Killeen, home of FT.Hood. The class consisted of 496 graduates, many who were children/grand children of servicemen in Middle East. When the grad came across the stage, if a parent was serving there, a live feed came in from the East of the parent and their reaction. It put a lot in perspective. FT. Hood has gone through a lot and this was a nice graduation.
Now for the bragging. My oldest grand son Is Tyson Adams. He was 1 of the 2 National Merit Scholars and 8th in his class. He received 12 different scholarship offers including 3 full rides:
Univ of Oklahoma national merit scholarship $88,500
Univ of Arizona " " " $100,000
Univ of Houston " " " $104,000
He accepted Houston because it has (supposedly) the # 1 college of entrepreneurship. Chip off the OLD block! He has other small scholarships totalling another 12K

My oldest grand daughter is his sister, Brittany Adams. She was a junior this year and finished her JR year in school and at the same time, completed her senior year online. If she'd stayed another year, she'd have received a full ride due to her test scores etc. Interested in theater and comp tech(not chip off old block!) She still received offers as follows:
Univ of Montana Honors $32,000
Univ of Arizona Excellence $47,000
City University of N.Y Macauley Honors $65,000
Also received a few smaller ones totalling 11K.
She selected New York because it is on Manhattan and close to theaters and Broadway.
Both finished in top 5% of the class. This class was way above average(military discipline) and according to the Principal received over 6 MILLION in scholarship offers. My 2 kids received over 10% of that total.
Yup, grandpa is bragging and very proud of the 2. Bar is set high for the other grand kids. Rich
