He hopes to be a professional triathlete.
He was always a competitive swimmer in school.
School was hard for him when he got out of high school and now it's great.
You can tell who the veterans are on campus.
If he had to do it again he would go to community college and pay for it out-of-pocket and then have Uncle Sam pay for a master's degree.
They pay for 36 months of classes at a rate of the highest paid public tuition in that state.
Penn State is $20,000 and if he wanted to go to a private college that costs $40,000, he would have to pay the $20,000 difference.
There are other programs that may pay the difference between the tuition.
