10 Things People Don’t Know About Florida Prepaid College Plans

“I want what’s best for you, that’s all. You deserve the opportunities I had, and especially the ones I missed.”

Apparently driving in the car promotes long and deep conversations with the kids. I don’t recall our exact destination on this particular day, however, our conversation is forever etched in my memory.

The four boys and I were headed somewhere in my mom-van, the family’s transporter of boys to and from soccer fields and schools. The kids, the two oldest in particular, wanted to know if I had any regrets in life.

Even before I paused to act like I had to think about it, I already knew what my answer was. But, I wanted the kids to believe it was a question I had to ponder for a while.

My One True Regret:

Life is a series of short-term commitments and quick decisions. The compounding effect of which have long-term and life-altering consequences. The changes happen in such small increments, over an extended period of time, you don’t realize the opportunities you have missed, until they are in your rear view mirror – out of reach.

I kept my deeply philosophical theories to myself, but without further hesitation, I told the kids with utmost sincerity, my one and only regret was my missed opportunity to get a college degree. I followed it with a vow to the kids, that they will not miss their opportunity to get a college education.

My situation was unique and our kids won’t encounter the same scenario. However, I want to make sure that the mistakes I made, will not be repeated as they go through their youth.

I don’t expect our kids to learn from my mistakes, but I certainly know what to watch for now. My past prepared me for parenthood and the potential pitfalls and danger of not staying on top of my kids’ quick decisions.
