Hey little brother, Andrew here. Just wanted to congratulate you on your upcoming graduation from Bunn High School. Nice job of scrambling over the past month to get all your make-up work done. Glad to hear Mr. Baker cut you some slack in senior English, too. He never did me many favors.
Barring anything unforeseen, I should be able to come in for your graduation ceremony, though I’ll have to take off the next morning. Life in the real world, you know. I’m proud of you, kid!
When I get home, let’s talk more about what we talked about last week. You definitely have some big decisions to make. I admire your desire to serve your country in the military and believe you when you say you’re serious about going to Afghanistan.
If you decide to go the college route, I think Louisburg College would be a good option for you. It’s close, you can save some money on room and board, and you’ll get to continue your baseball career. They’ve got good coaches who can get you ready for the next level if you want to pursue that. A lot of people think you’ve got the talent to play Division I and make a run at a pro career if you want it.
Even if you don’t see yourself playing baseball long-term, they are offering you some $$$ for school, so I’d jump on it. You can’t beat getting help for an education.
Looking forward to talking with you about everything when I breeze home next week.
Big brother Drew
