Let's Get Goin'

Macalester? Harvey Mudd? Middlebury–I like diversity so this would be a great fit for me. I also really like food so maybe The Culinary Institute of America? My local community college has a highly touted culinary program–it would be closer and less expensive and I could even live at home. Then again, Jim Cantore has a lot of excitement in his job–so perhaps I should study meteorology at Lyndon State like he did? And maybe...

Whoops . . . guess I should introduce myself first . . . I’m Clyde. I have hundreds of foster brothers and sisters who I have watched go on all kind of educational adventures, so I’m trying to decide what path I might take when it’s time for me to leave Bayside. It’s easy to let time get away with you. I remember when I first came to school–graduating and moving on was forever away. It’s getting closer and closer, so I need a plan!

Will I graduate? Mrs. Willis says that only about 7 out of 10 high school students graduate–that is SCARY! Will I be able to take that next step to do what I want to do?

How am I gonna know what is right for me? Who am I really? What’s important to me? What do I want to become when I’m out on my own and taking care of myself 24/7? Will I be able to support myself in the style to which I’ve become accustomed (or as one of my foster brothers says–could adjust to)?

This year, I’m gonna find out all of these things . . . and you’ll have the opportunity to follow along and read my mind as I paws and decide what-to-do-after high school. Does my bloodline really matter? Do my parents have enough bones to make me a development case in the admissions offices? What’s right for me--that’s what it’s really all about, about finding good options for me.

Follow me as I consider all the possibilities and climb my way to the future...


Woof,
Clyde
