University Students

Carly and Micayla started classes at our local university this semester.  You might wonder how a teen not officially graduated (Micayla) from high school can attend a classes at a university?  Well, it is quite easy actually.  There is a program called "Open University" and as far as we know just about anyone can enroll and take classes.  Both girls picked classes that sounded interesting and suited their passions. They talked to the teachers, had their enrollment forms signed, turned them into the Open University along with payment and Voila! They now have student ID's and are now officially university students.  No testing or applications necessary!

Awesome August!
