Things just got real! We just celebrated Senior night for lacrosse, and I just realized I have a a senior. Really??? Are we sure, because I really believe he is only a freshman, sophomore or maybe a junior. He cannot really be a senior, can he? I see a lot of ugly crying in my future, you know the kind I am talking about. I am talking UGLY crying.
We got the cap and gown, I sent the announcements and we are preparing for Summer orientation at my dear Sprats College of choice. Now here comes the monkey wrench. My son loves the game of lacrosse and I wish he had found it sooner. He has spent last year and this year falling in love with this sport. He eats, breathes, and lives for this sport and being the Mom that I am I tried to help him find a way to be able to play lacrosse in college. His college of choice does not have a men's lacrosse team so, I created a profile for my son on "berecruited " to see if any colleges would be interested. To my surprise he has had a lot of interest and a couple that sent email and one that called. The unfortunate part of this all is that the one that is most interested is located in Boston, we are in NC. This school is small and does offer his program of choice which is unusual because not many schools do offer it.
Sprat has applied to this school, he has talked with the coach and we will probably go for a visit sometime in the near future. This school does not offer athletic scholarships but it does offer academic scholarships and we are waiting to hear about all of that. When all of this came out about me setting up the "berecruited" profile for Sprat, Big T said, "Mom you have to set one up for me, I want to go to Maryland and play lacrosse." And there ya go. . . Big T has been playing lacrosse for three years now and he also loves the sport as much as his big brother. Whole lot of changes coming down the road for our house. Stay tuned, oh and do not forget the UGLY crying too. . .
