Smile Parent Organizations

Investigate your State Parent Organization. This group has helped me sooo much during these last 4 years.

Our group even established a 'mentoring' of the Plebe parents as they came in. We were available to answer questions, called to check in and gave a very personal connection to the new comers. I still maintain these friendships when we see each other at meetings and Parents Weekends.

Our State group is also organizing an informal alumni division within the Parents group. We want to support USMMA and its mission even when our children have graduated....and not loose contact with each other.

I agree. I read this forum everyday - just trying to figure this whole thing out & maybe find a glimpse of my DS with posted pictures. You guys going through the same ordeals with me make me feel better. (Misery loves company thing . ha ha)

I got 2 letters - full front & back. I treasure those words. My DS doesnt sound miserable - having a good time learning new things. So I dont feel as anxious anymore I did spill some tears today - as next week my DS will be celebratinghis 18th Bday - away from home. But reading all the other things that I need to worry about...has my head spinning! (Hard calc & physic classes - No A/C in a certai dorm - did my son get that one??? How wil he get mail....O my!)

Pass me a MIKE!
