Life is an interesting place!

My son Michael has recently changed his plans. (See his comment to a post below)

Michael was originally planning to become a dentist. Therefore, he was working on majoring in Microbial Biology at OSU. Now he has changed his major and his planning on getting his BS in Political Science. His current plans are to go to law school.

After he announced this change to me and my husband, he looked at me and said, "I guess I have YOU to think for this!" While I admit I might have had a small role in this, I think there were greater exterior influences. First every day there is a news report on how our current government leader are messing things up. This results in daily discussions about our constitution, and how our leaders are going against it. Second, Michael has been greatly influenced by his current US Government professor. Third, Michael has really struggled in Biology. So while, I do take personal satisfaction in my son's decision, I also know my role was minor.

BA? No, BS. :-) I think this is the major I will stick with - there's nothing else I'm really interested in. Unless Asskickery is a major.

I think it fits your personality.

Dad states: I think Michael would be a great attribute to any area of the political arena...he possesses that which define the characteristic of a sound and decent man. I'm very proud of him.
I know that his greatness will one day allow a fine houseboat (that I will have the honor of maintaining while he's away in DC.)to grace some majestic lake.

Mom states:
#1 - Dad needs his own login
#2 - Asskickery = Politics
So, Michael is in luck!!!
#3 - Michael would be a great attribute to what ever he chooses!
