The picture taken on our July 4th long weekend of Joshua reading…more precisely, he is doing homework. Though school is out for the summer, as he is taking three Advanced Placement (AP) classes next year he has several books to read over the summer, two of which are over 200 pages in length.AP classes are more demanding than the equivalent high school courses. Only students with a strong academic performance in that subject are allowed to take APs. The APs are taught at the freshman and sophomore college level so that if a student receives a high enough score they may receive college credits (final determination is left to the college to accept them APs for transfer credit). This coming year Josh is taking Music Theory AP, American History AP and English Language Composition AP.
The football conditioning programs are underway and marching band sectionals take place in July (the band already has had two rehearsals to through their music between the ending of school and 1 July). During the first week of August football and cheer leading teams practice twice a day five days a week and so does the marching band.

OK, so the key question here is.......when does Josh get a vacation!
That is simple....when he finishes college...or is it when he retires?
life is treating you bad when you have to study while camping!
Josh took an AP class this past year to see what to expect. He just got the results from the State...he scored a 4. The good news is that for most colleges a 4 is accepted as college credit. Unfortunately, the school that is his first choice is the only one in VA, James Madison University, that calls for a score of 5 (max is 5).
