My name is Bunny Burner.  I live in the suburbs.I am a college graduate. I have three kids: John, Wayne and Newton. I grow peas, carrots and onions in my garden. I like cooking with fresh herbs. my best friends name is Kiley riley. My wife used to live in crippled creek, Arizona. I am divorced. I attended state university.
I have a daughter and a wife. My daughter takes ballet three times a week. My daughter is seventeen. I Do not sing. I own a herb garden. I live in a rural area. I did not live in Arizona. I went right into the work force. I did not attend state university. I cook with fresh herbs.
I went to my son's first football game, he seems to be getting serious about it. Do you have any tips on how to best support your kid's dreams? I recommend being supportive through always showing up and showing a keen interest in their progress at mealtime. I always discuss my daughter's ballet work at dinner after school. Through these conversations, i learn how she's doing and what i can do to better support her aspirations. I also keep in touch with the adult instructors at the ballet program to see what they think i can do to enhance her experience. Do you know your son's football coach? He might have ideas for after-school training or summer programs. The best way to support them is to be there for them, be their cheerleader, and help them when they struggle.  Yes, that is very true. I try not to be critical of my daughter - she's hard enough on herself. She plans to pursue dance as a career, so the more confidence she has in her abilities, the better.  Is your son looking at any colleges yet? Perhaps your alma mater, Arizona State? He is looking there also a lot of the big 10 schools. What schools do you think are good for football scholarships? I think the Big 10 schools are a great start. I'd also recommend the Ivy leagues, if his grades are good enough. Their football rivalries are legendary. Finally I'd look at any large state school - those typically have well-funded athletics programs.  Does he have any area he hopes to major in? I think he wants to go into business. But I want him to go somewhere where his options are open, he could always change his mind.  That is true. In that case I'd recommend Penn State - my alma mater. I changed my major a few times and was able to have a lot of flexibility in terms of what i studied. It also has an excellent business school, Smeal. When is he thinking of applying? He will be applying next year. It seems so crazy how fast the time has flown.  Yes - it's an exciting time. While i'll miss my daughter, I'm also thrilled for her as she takes the next steps in her life.  I'm glad we saved enough money that she should be able to go wherever she wants, even without a scholarship (but a scholarship won't hurt). That is awesome! With three kids, we won't be able to do that. We've saved some, but loans or scolarships are necessary. Where would your daughter like to go? She is hoping to go to Juliard or another school with a good dance program/conservatory. Hopefully she can get in! If not her fallback plan is to study veterinary medicine.  That way she'd be really helpful with our farm animals.  Your son will probably be fine - he's a star athlete so is sure to get lots of opportunities to go wherever he wants!
