Okay enough about that on to the topic at hand! The Navarro Family College Road Trip! Um wait I guess since we have to take like 5 planes this should be the Navarro Family College Road & Air Trip!! The next two weeks are going to be crazy and we won't always be able to keep in touch or call so I will try to update through the blog about our trip. Just in case you don't follow me on twitter (which you should go do now @niktastik1219) or read all my fb posts let me just give you a quick overview.
Left Germany and now we are heading to Texas via OKC. In Texas we will visit Austin college in Sherman and Hardin Simmons in Abilene. Then we fly to Chicago and from there drive all over the freaking place. Coe College in Iowa, Wayne State College in Nebraska, Augustana in South Dakota, and finish up at Trinity International University in Deerfield Illinois! Our goal is to find bubba a college that he likes, will enjoy playing football at, and most importantly one that Mama is ok with! We all know that's the most important part, because if mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy!!
We have been extremely blessed and Robert has been offered over 100,000 in academic scholarships! He is still awaiting the athletic scholarship portion. As a parent I can't describe how proud I am of my son who has worked so hard to get to where he is right now! Only 3% of high school athletes go on to play collegiate sports at ANY level or sport! My bubba is one of that small percentage. Getting to this point has not always been easy, but each moment has helped turn him into the great young man he is becoming right before our eyes! I am sure the next few months will be just as hard as Robert chooses a college and we prepare to send him out into the big scary world on his own!
Stay tuned to find out how our visits go and where the next chapter of Robert's book of life begins. The countdown to Februrary 5, 2014 is officially on!
