An Associates Degree in High School

As if the world doesn't already push kids to overachieve, we just found out that if Connor plans his classes right and takes some online classes in the summer, he could have his associates degree by the time he graduates from high school! One: the fact that I just attended my sons high school planning meeting with his counselor and that he will officially be a high schooler next year was crazy enough, but his counselor really thinks Connor could do the program- in other words he's very bright and would do well in the Honors, AP and College classes. Eeek! I swear just yesterday he was learning to walk with his arms straight up in the air. What happened!! Two: doesn't that mean that driving is right around the corner! Gasps, Screams of horror from the peanut gallery.

That is nuts. There's no way that Connor's old enough to be thinking about college classes. That would be cool, though, to have his associate's done before his mission...

Of course he's a smart guy. Look at his parents! And he reads a tons. That is a cool opportunity...
