Education

My son moves-in at his dormitory at the University of Pittsburgh next week. Freshmen get to move-in a week ahead of all the other students, to familiarize themselves with the campus.

The University of Pittsburgh (aka Pitt) mascot is the Panther - all their athletic teams are called the Panthers. This statue of a Panther is located outside the Pitt Student Union on Forbes Ave.

University education - the next step towards broadening a young person's horizons and moving beyond the basics taught in high school.

He gets a chance to explore options and focus on what he feels is important - to make-up his mind about what matters.

I wish him the wisdom to chose clearly.

  1. Εύχομαι ολόψυχα καλή πρόοδο στον Γρηγόριο. Σίγουρα ο νέος άνθρωπος χρειάζεται φώτιση και σοφία για να κάνει τις επιλογές του, όπως άλλωστε και όλοι μας γιατί οι επιλογές και τα διλήμματα δεν σταματούν στα 18 μας χρόνια.
    Πολλά χαιρετίσματα και φιλιά από Θεσσαλονίκη
