Jerry and the SAT or ACT or is it the just shoot me!

Jerry is now in the last 4 months of his high school life. He is being given information overload at a rate of warp-speed everyday. Today this laid back kid told me "Mom you need to get me registered for the SAT." Umm Jerry you have asked me this since last year and each time you change your mind and don't go. Yeah I know Mom but now I think I really need to just take it to get some kind of score. Are you really going to do it this time?? Pause..yeah I think so. Jerry the workshop is $125.00. If I pay this it is no refunds so you will have to go and it is for 4 afternoons but it will give you an edge. No, I think I will just take the test. Ha..I dont know about this kid and trying to explain anything to him is about as fruitful as talking to the dog. Nat tells me to just let him take it and fail to which he responded yeah but I get another chance, one more time. Hello wall and how are you today? Now he thinks he will go to the college here in town...Northwest Florida State College. Great idea but he either has to present them with an SAT or ACT score or take the entrance exam...will he ever "get" it? Lord I hope so, I mean all we want for our kids is a chance at a great life with a loving spouse and good friends and the means to support themselves. I know...patience, patience! Dear Lord please help him to find his way and please help me to keep my sanity in the process.
