Drivers License

This afternoon on April 10th (Good Friday) Alyssa took and passed her road test. She was really nervous but was happy that she passed. We told her the rules she will have to follow with driving the car. We also said now she'll have to get a job to help pay for the gas. She is looking forward to Frank traveling because she can use his car to go to and from school. I told her she'll have to bring her brother Jack home also. She gave me a look on that one.

College Search Begins

On Sunday, April 5th Alyssa and I headed to Siena College in Albany for a Junior Jump Start Program. There were different sessions you could attend that included information about financial aid to picking a major for a career. We were able to talk to current students, admissions and administrators. After lunchwe spoke with Diana McHugh from admissions for about 15 minutes then went on our campus tour. (By the way Diana is from Hopewell Junction and went to John Jay High School and graduated from Siena in 2006 with an English Degree). Alyssa likes the school and campus and is excited to apply in the fall.
