Nathan turned twenty last week. He is in his first year of Community College. He's been driving his car now since the beginning of the summer with no accidents or tickets. He manages his money responsibly
and he is thrifty and pays his credit card on time. He doesn't drink or smoke or do drugs. He has had the same girlfriend for the past three years. He still bowls YABA bowling. He was President of SADD in high school. He plays basketball and works out at TCC every day in addition to going to every class.

Some people think he is too dependent on me and compared to most children his age, that is probably true. However, he is such a fine individual in terms of character, that I am not worried.

He does need to get a job before the end of the year or I may take his car keys away from him. He needs to take more initiative to take care of his needs around the house. He has always needed a push to make each independent step in life. But being a decent person with good morals has come easily to him. I'm very pleased with him thus far. hg
