Brett called this afternoon as I was walking out of school. He had met with his advisor at IU and wanted to give me an update. The first item on his agenda was studying abroad. He can or cannot study abroad for his major and there are many opportunities for him to do so during the summer. He has a plan to meet with the study abroad program in the next couple of weeks to see what he needs to do to make this dream come true.
The second item was not as pressing for him, but one he had questions about. He would like to get a minor and wasn't sure if he would be able to do so easily. The good news is that he already has enough credits to get a minor in global communications. This led into discussion on his third question - when can he graduate? He and I had hoped that he would be able to graduate a semester early. We were both thrilled to find out that he can actually graduate in May of 2016, which is an entire year early.
Brett still has to figure out if he wants to work right away and what career placement help IU will provide. He has talked about going to law school, but is now thinking that he may want to work first for a political action group instead. Either way I know he will do well. I have been impressed with his work ethic. That alone will take him far in life.
