Ronick goes off to college @CalPoly

With new incoming freshmen and transfer students move-in to campus housing set for Saturday September 17, my sister Joy, my brother-in-law Vince, my dad, and niece Angel set out Friday for Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.  If the weekend weren't packed full of activities for the other kids, we would have all gone.

Ronick Putong goes off to college.

My dad of course had to help his first grandchild move into Cal Poly. We all know how big an occasion it is for Filipino parents and grandparents!  (I still regret taking the opportunity away from my parents to help me move into the Tercero dorms in UC Davis since I took a last minute trip to Los Angeles to hang out with a "friend").

Thanks for taking the family photo Tess!

As Ferris Bueller said: 'Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it'.  Ronick is off to San Luis Obispo.  Dino will be flying to New York with his parents next month to visit a school on the East Coast.

The Putong kids: Dino, Ronick, Keo (back);
Angel & Yuki (front).

Good luck Ronick! Dream your biggest dream and make it happen. We know you can do it.
