Time to spread your wings and fly
Set to the sky and soar
Ahead of you lies your destiny
Plot your course and explore!
Many obstacles lie ahead
Challenges yet to overcome
Apply yourself to meet them
But remember to also have fun.
Schedule your time wisely
For it passes too quick
Managing between work and play
Is the real trick.
Isaac left for college today. It's weird because even though Megan went "off to college" a couple years ago, it feels like this is the first time we are dealing with it.
Megan's college is only about 20 minutes away, and even though she lives on campus, we could see her everyday or meet up with her when wanted/needed or whatever. She usually comes home on the weekends, so even if she is gone off to school, it's kind of as if she is still here.
Isaac, on the other hand, went off to Indiana, on the Illinois border -- roughly about 7 hours away. He won't be home on weekends. We likely won't see him again until spring break, and that's only if he has the gas money.
I am happy for him, though. One, that he got accepted to a college to start with, but additionally, that he will be on his own and will learn a lot that he wouldn't if he were here being coddled.
Time for you to spread your wings, Isaac ... SOAR!
