Bette: Surely, they have an office here in Redondo Beach.
Tina: I think they are located in the same shopping center as the office supply store.
Bette: Well, let see them first then go to the office supply place.
Tina: We are making some good progress here.
Bette: I have email to you Daniel’s resume and his cover letter. Tell me what you think.
Tina: Oh, yes, I see it. And here is Dylan’s email on the lease agreement. And I have an email on Daniel’s doctors’ appointment for next week. I’ll forward that to you. Put it on your calendar and be there on time.
Bette: Yes mam! Now schools for Daniel. Wow…there are so many! This is going to take a while to narrow this down. Let’s look at charter schools first for a sixth grader. Maybe I can get Daniel to help me with this.
Tina: That’s a good idea. He seems to know what he wants to study and will find generally what he wants. He may want to pick the high school first and then pick an elementary school. We need to get the application for the high school in as soon as possible.
Bette: I’m going to call the kids in to assist with this. We need all hands-on deck to make all this happen.
Bette went out on the deck and told the kids to come in and dress for shopping in the afternoon and then to come to assist with computer research.
Tina: What are you going to have them do?
Bette: I think I would let Daniel find the high school he wants to attend, then we are going to find the feeder middle school and elementary schools which will give him the best prep for that high school. And I think I am going to let Angie do the bank research. And then maybe travel research to figure out how long it takes to get from New Haven and back. If she sees it for herself, perhaps she will understand what it will take to come home for a weekend. She needs to spend this evening studying for that test.
Tina: Yep. If she does not pass that test, she cannot take driving classes. And without a certificate, there will be no driving license. And no driving license means no car.

Love all the details!
Didn’t know anything about going to university and the different college houses, after reading it i would advise Angie not to join one of them. Find her own way and make her own friends, not ones who hold standards and where you can’t be yourself.
Bette, Tina, Angie and Daniel are in for a ride with all these changes in their life.
Look forward to read more!
Bibi,
Thank you for reading…. this is strictly a personal opinion on the role of sororities and fraternities – to belong to the right group and meet and know the right people. If it were not that way, they would not discriminate who should be a member and who shouldn’t. I’m sure others have their own view which would contradict mine. Such as the way life is…
My hopes in this story is to show Bette and Tina going through some normal life decisions and relationships. It is not a story of high drama…. but I am in hopes that sometime, the everyday things can cause the everyday requirement to connect and communicated with your spouse and family. I do go into some detail in Bette and Tina’s communication with Angie and later with Daniel as well as each other. I hope that the reader will see how these two create and maintain the solid relationship they have which will carry on for a life time. This will not appeal to a whole lot of people…. but I hope that when you go through these next few months with Bette and Tina, you will know them as I do.
This is a long story…. but it is complete and ready to post. Let me know the frequency you would like for me post and I will keep it coming…. Thank you for reading…
I am very proud of you for completing your story. I think k it’s nice to see them going through real life. I hope to get back in the game when I am well enough. Congratulations on your story.
Thank you for your explanation about your intentions of this story.
About the frequency of you posting, it really doesn’t matter for me, i work in the weekend every other week and then free on Thursday and Friday but i work early and late shifts. Post whenever you want and i try to read it if i have time, i promise i will read it.
I like the story. This chapter of course is your opinion. Having been to college and being a member of a sorority, I differ in my opinion of college. It’s not ALL ABOUT Greek life. They are not discriminatory. There’s also other facets of college life that make it some of the best years of a person’s life. I made life long friends, both Greek and non-Greek that made my college experience a great one. There’s a balance and all sorts of things that I feel you didn’t touch on in the explanation to Angelica. However, it’s your story and your opinion, your version. I will continue to read because you’re a great writer. I just felt this chapter was unbalanced.
Trecelovinit…. Thank you for reading…. First, I must say, this is the first of several conversation Bette and Tina will be having with Angie about college life. They will leave it up to Angie to decide if you wants to get into Greek life or not. With the continuing conversations they will have, I hope you will see there is a continuing theme in that Angie is totally in control of her life at college. That includes who she associates with, what organizations she decides to belong to, what she studies and how she spends her free time.
I think I have a different definition of discrimination. I mean to determine who should be a member and who shouldn’t on whatever basis that happens. It could be based on personality, on appearance, on social contacts or family contacts, or course of study or some other criteria which is totally not apparent to those who are being chosen versus those who are not. For everyone who desires to be a member does not get an invitation to be a member. So someone is discriminating against those they do not wish to extend an invitation in favor of those they wish to extend an invitation. And that criteria may have nothing to with color, race, religion, gender identification, sexual orientation, political persuasion or country of origin. But the process is discriminatory in that each house have a limited number of members. Sororities and Fraternities are social organizations based upon knowing the right people to enhance you college life and your post college life.
Yes, I am probably not presenting a balance picture… but I’m not sure that I am capable of presenting a more balance picture. This is my Bette and Tina’s view based upon their own experiences. And believe it or not, they are desperately trying to allow Angie to make up her own mind about college life when she goes off to experience it. But they do want her to see that with every benefit, there are cost. And please remember, both Tina and Bette attended college some 35 years ago. Life has changed in that period… Their experiences are not going to be the same as Angie’s experiences will be.
Thank you for your comment…
Thank you for your response. I do appreciate your perspective and responding to me. I do love the story and as I stated previously, I think your writing is great. I will continue to read. I do respect and did state that it’s your opinion and your story. I agree their time in college was 35 years ago. Honestly, it’s been 30 years for me. Things definitely do change and I appreciate different perspectives. Thank you for writing.
