That is a great achievement, for both you and him ![:wink:](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) You have every reason to be so proud! That is very cool about Taiwan. I lived there for a year or so when I was 20, and had the most wonderful time. It was very much one of the best experiences of my life. I hope he has the same!

Congratulations to your son!
I love USC! I visited their law school but went to one closer to home. A senior at my daughters school (PA) is going to USC. My sophomore wants to apply there too.

Thanks for indulging me, everyone! akathy, he did a dual major in Religious Studies (emphasis in Eastern Philosophy) and Mandarin. Makes my head spin! I tease him that he's like a female Rory Gilmore. If anyone remembers when she went down to Florida for Spring Break and her and Paris were watching the Joseph Campbell Power of Myth Series on videotape, I was LMAO, because that is totally something he would do. DS discovered Joseph Campbell in high school and went all out intense on reading his books, etc. I was recently giving him a hard time when he took a bunch of old VHS tapes with this kind of stuff that one of his retiring professors was offering up. He's an old soul for sure. He started out at Clemson as a forestry major. He is a true outdoors-man and loves hiking, camping, etc. (no hunting, though. He's more of a John Muir type). He had been wavering between Comparative Literature and Forestry when he was heading off to college. I had hoped he would stick with the forestry, because I thought his job prospects would be much better long-term-especially back home in Texas. He ended up switching to the Eastern Philosophy and Mandarin thing after 1 year at Clemson, and he seems to love it. So I'm happy that he's happy. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) Wow! He sounds like an amazing kid!!!
