We have a friend that lives one street over. He would do it. Maybe even let him come over and help out his wife doing odd jobs-she's pregnant with twins and due in august. Maybe coming from them, he might listen more.
Thanks.

Ask him, hey I saw at the community college they have these classes available, are you interested?
Similar story as how I got to design school. I think I was about 17, and the only "cool" adult in my family was my uncle. He came to my house one day out of the blue to me (maybe it was planned by my family, I don't know) and told me he saw me going into fashion and thought I was really creative, etc. Until then I had really no goals for education after high school. Since he was the "cool" uncle I took his advice and went to design school. Is there someone he looks up to that can have a non-confrontational talk with him? May have a bigger impact than parents  giving advice, KWIM? |
