Bryan was supposed to go to this workforce thing yesterday and today. I'm not sure if it's a seminar or conference, but it's supposed to give him options for what he wants to do after high school, and here's the kicker...he gets PAID for it! So yesterday he made it through half the day, and today he planted his feet and crossed his arms and told me he wasn't going. What am I supposed to do? Dress my 18-year-old kid, force him into the car, and take him? So he didn't go. He lost out on money for an easy day of listening to what his options are after high school. I can't begin to tell you the disappointment that I felt. But if he's going to be happy working a fast food job, good on him. Someone has to do it. I just feel bad because he had such high hopes for his future, and he's realizing that the way to get to the end product is hard. But I have to let go and let God, because I cannot control this situation, and I cannot control my son. I can only pray for what's best for him and that God will guide his path, the way mine is being guided now.
*Just a side note, Bryan is not working a fast food job, but he is working in the kitchen at the school over the lunch hours.
