Hi, Professor.

I know your family must be very proud of you. I find it a little unsettling that you are the first woman in your department to tenured, congratulations.

I have an almost 20-year old son who has basically failed out of mechanical engineering this past semester is attempted to retake a couple of courses this semester to get off of academic probation. He is now basically adrift and unsure what to do, and I fear might not get a degree in anything.

Without knowing him or anymore than I've shared with you would have advice on ways his mom and I might guide or encourage him.

Thanks for taking the time to do this AMA.
