Here's my motivational quote - courtesy of my 17 year old daughter - "Mom, I applied to Columbia!"

Oh please someone give this middle class child some scholarships...

@Amy- LOL, I'm guessing that's not Lower Columbia Junior  College in Washington.

I love the humor....Amy if you find scholarship money let me know. My son is applying now to college.

@Bill I wish... :) She's got her heart set on UW (at least we'll get in-state tuition) but when I told her the could go to Green River CC which has a direct transfer agreement w/ UW she acted like I just kicked her puppy. AND she wants to live in a dorm... even though it's a 45 minute drive in traffic. :) Yep, that's my motivation.

Thanks Sheila! Didn't mean to hijack your thread - you have a great list of quotes. :) I'll let you know! We're turning over every stone... Scholarship for short girls? She's on it! Scholarships for kids who attended more than 1 elementary school (we were a military family)? We'll find it! Good luck to your son as well!
