Our son was just as focused at that age. He determined he wanted to work in the space program and had a singular plan toward that. He didn’t go to college early — though we discussed that possibility. He graduated valedictorian from high school, went to Purdue and spent all four years on the Dean’s List. Now he works on the Mars mission spacecraft development.
It was amazing to watch. I never witnessed anything else like it. At my age, I still don’t know what the hell I want to do. I’m like a damned pinball.
Congrats to your son. Very impressive.
