Foundation

Some like the idea of 'saving' for college. Even I was convinced that it was prudent to do so. At one point in time I had the resources to help send a grandchild or two to college. The best laid plans of mice and men................ On the way to college... preschool, elementary and middle school happened. Co-op preschool age 3-4 established that Jim was a natural leader. Grade school confirmed it and there were many opportunities [financial] to promote his natural abilities. Basketball camp [one in Austria], football camp [downtown on Ford Field], leadership camp in DC, Ann Arbor, Boston etc....Montessori and Charter Schools. And many many opportunities to give Jim a big picture of the world and his place in it. Along the way to High School I realized that a great foundation would carry Jim a long way. He has been accepted at Detroit Country Day High School where he will continue on his chosen path. After HS, I have every confidence that Jim will receive a scholarship to further his education. Spend on a good foundation - college will take care of itself.
