Notre Dame or Bust!

 Jimmy decided in late spring to forgo all the Law School offers he had actual offers from places like, Madison WI, The University of Minnesota and chose to be on the waiting list for Note Dame, remind any one of VMI? So Jimmy turned all the offers down and began putting all of his eggs in Notre Dames basket. The real amazing thing is he put his future on the line and was betting on himself. His ethics, work ethic, all the accomplishments that he achieved at VMI came through and early one June morning we heard hime moving around and he came around the corner with a big grin and a huge smile and said " I got in" Awesome

Before heading out for the tour Jimmy made us watch the movie Rudy, very cute.

Jimmy and I headed out for a quick meet and greet, a tour and an orientation session with the Law School intake and career counselors. It was the exact opposite of his previous college  experience. 

The campus is gorgeous, the people incredibly welcoming and helpful. Jimmy was on cloud .We managed to find a couple of great restaurants, toured the campus and found him an apartment.! All in all a successful few days....more to come
