Today I had to drop everything and do some running for my son.
Yesterday I got a call ("sorry it's so last minute," she said) about his being recognized at a school board meeting tonight as a Hispanic National Merit Scholar. I knew he was in this category via the College Board folks, and I've been holding onto the mail from schools that now address him this way. It means they have money for him. A classmate with the same designation is going to Auburn fully funded. He's late getting started, but we finally got a fire lit under the kid.
A form had to be turned in by the end of the day today. I did what I could to fill it out and had to get signatures. It's a mess, but it is filled out.
We'll be going over to that meeting in a couple of hours. What a day.
