My 20 year old son Shine has the opportunity to attend Nyack College all expenses paid, but he's struggling with the choice because he want's to also have his own apartment and take care of his 2 year old son. I must say that Shine is a smart young man but like all of us we need help in making the right choices in life. Shine has been living with me since he was 17 years old and earned his GED last year, now it's time for college. After many hours of talking with him about this he says he has a PLAN A and a PLAN B. Plan A is go to Nyack earn a degree get a job and take care of his son. PLAN B is get an apartment in the next few months before he ages out of care find a job and try to get custody over his 2 year old son and take care of him and go to college while doing all of this. By the way his son currently lives with the baby's mother and grandmother and there's no guarantee that he will get custody over his son or get an apartment. Please comment on this and let SHINE know what you think is the best choice for him. He needs all the wise counsel he can get and so do I, because I'm trying to convince him to go with PLAN A. We have a meeting scheduled with NYACK College next week Thursday or Friday and I'm hoping by then Shine will make the right choice. Let's pray Shine makes the right choice his future depends on it.
Stay tuned for a video episode of CRAIG's HOUSE coming soon

Craig tell Shyne that college is the best idea. If he can prove to the court that he has a college degree and a steady job, then custody of his son is almost guaranteed.
Thanks for the feedback Nattle. I let him know what you said. Peace
