My boys (ages 16 and 14) both passed Freshman College Comp on Wednesday! The older son had attempted English Comp w/ AND w/o Essay and missed each test by just a couple points. They say third time's a charm and it proved true for him! =D
My 16yos has also passed Western Civ I (with the knowledge he acquired via Ages of Empires III), US Hist I, Analyzing & Interpreting Lit, and Biology. Coupled with the credits he has gained via dual enrollment, he now has 30 credits! One year of college completed!

That's awesome, Amy!!! They deserve a high five and...I dunno whatever would be a special treat for them. Btw, so do you for being quite the Mom in helping them!
I can't tell you how blown away I am to see these kinds of opportunities for the younger generation nowadays. Am I bit envious? Yeah, I'd be lying if I said otherwise. Mostly though I'm glad to see that technology is helping make people's dreams come true. I had just about given up on getting my degree until I stumbled across all of this just a few months ago. Now, like any "convert", I'm trying to bring in everyone I know and care about!
