Son 1 starts the University of Lausanne
Sunday, October 22nd, 2006
Monday’s a big day. Son 1 will be an official university student, attending classes in the Lausanne University’s Police and Forensic Science department, studying chemistry and biology, math and computers.
The good news is he can live at home where the cooking is excellent and laundry is done at least once a week. He only has to pay $341.62 tuition per semester (we’ll cover that) plus books (we’ll cover those too). Plus, he gets a really good, high quality education in the best Police Forensic Science Department in all of Europe.
The bad news is he has 36 hours of courses per week (all in his field—there are no electives), must get up before 7 AM each morning, and less than 10% of those who begin the semester will pass exams at the end of year one.
But this has been his dream since about 7th grade. We are thrilled to assist him in following his goal.
God gave us Son 1. We’ve appreciated each moment we’ve had with him. We’ve tried to prepare him for his unique future. And we’ve loved him diligently to ground him in faith.
Tomorrow’s a big day. And we couldn’t be prouder of Son 1.
