The Path for Thomas – Dual Credits at TMCC High School and TMCC

Posted on by

March 9 2022

Great news received this afternoon! First step complete and accepted for Thomas to graduate with his high school diploma and an AA degree in 2024! 👏👏👏 There are several ways to achieve this, and this option appealed to Thomas the most.

This particular path is to attend TMCC Magnet High School, while also taking college classes at TMCC. The high school is located on the same campus as the college. Thomas has to complete one more step (testing), and then he’ll be set. And if this doesn’t work out, we’ll fall back to his second option.

Bonus: The college courses are paid for by TMCC High School!

Spent the morning at TMCC’s Dandini campus while Thomas took the accuplacer test. The highest score possible is 300. Go Thomas!! He definitely surpassed the required scoring for final approval of the TMCC High school dual credit program.

It’s such a beautiful campus, and they had a vegan chick’n burger at the cafe. I’m so proud and happy for Thomas.

Mr. T has decided to pass on his 1st bicycle y’all! It’s an Avigo One Eight 18 inch boys BMX bike with training wheels. Easter Bunny says she paid $60 for it. Message me if you are in the Reno area and would like make an offer and give it a new home.

Throwback Post: I Do Things Differently

August 10 2013:

Lillian just got done asking me why I do things differently than other Moms. Her questions were about how I make coffee … using a French Press and that I hand wash the dishes instead of use the dishwasher.

Thomas then adds, “I like that you are different. You’re not ordinary. You are extraordinary.” These two so bless me and can snap me back out of a funk instantly. They have a knack for sharing my own advice with me when I need it most!


(Team TLC 2013)

**March 2022 Update** Looking back, this post seems kind of arrogant on my part. *Note to self* … Ha! When my French press broke, I switched to pour over coffee (December 2019), and have been using since then. Luckily, I haven’t broken it yet! 

As for the dishes, I switched to hand washing as I was adding mindfulness to my daily tasks. Hand washing dishes is a wonderful mindfulness practice.
